Even with the Boston Celtics missing three starters in Jaylen Brown, Jrue Holiday, and Kristaps Porzingis, the Boston Celtics had little difficulty putting away the Chicago Bulls at United Center on Saturday night.

The Celtics won 124-113 with contributions from usual bench players filling in as starters, including Al Horford, whose 5-of-10 night from beyond the arc helped power Boston to the win, their 57th. “Different people, different guys, are ready to step up when their number’s called,” said Horford via the AP.

“We all understand what we’re trying to do, how we’re trying to play. Guys are just staying ready and taking advantage of the opportunities,” he added.

Reserve forward Sam Hauser (23 points, 5 rebounds) agreed. “We’re just hungry for more,” he explained. “It’s not in our character to just, like, mail it in for the rest of the season.”

The Celtics have just 11 games left in their 2023-24 NBA regular season schedule vs. just 10 teams, so their collective character won’t be tested too much.

Leaving the rest of us wondering, how many more games is this team going to win, even when they aren’t playing their best players?
