The Celtics' renaissance -
The pieces have come together even faster than the Celtics ever could have expected. With Kevin Garnett playing like an MVP, Rajon Rondo performing capably at point guard and the reserves doing just enough, the Celtics tied the 1959-60 team for the fastest in franchise history to reach 30 victories. At its current pace, Boston has a chance to join the 1995-96 Bulls as the only teams to win at least 70 games.
