Is team chemistry the Boston Celtics secret weapon?

Over the last 12 months, Brad Stevens has prioritized securing the long-term future of the Boston Celtics core rotation. He has extended Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Jayson Tatum, Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard. A significant portion of those deals occurred during the opening weeks of the offseason.

The Celtics are clearly betting on their team chemistry and roster continuity as they seek back-to-back NBA championships. Boston was the most dominant team in the NBA last season and ended the playoffs, having held their opponents to under 100 points in 11 of their 19 outings.

During a recent appearance on “The Celtics Beat” podcast, Adam Himmelsbach of the “Boston Globe” joined the show to discuss the Celtics elite chemistry and whether that can help them secure another championship next season. The Celtics had consistently spoken of their close-knit locker room throughout their championship season.
