Boston Celtics show signs of promise after first four games of season

The Boston Celtics opened the 2026-27 NBA season with a loss to the Detroit Pistons but have since regrouped, winning three consecutive games. Jayson Tatum has returned to form, averaging 33.0 points in his last three games, highlighted by a 40-point effort capped by a buzzer-beater against the Brooklyn Nets. While new addition Paul George has made a strong defensive impact, concerns remain about Derrick White's struggling 3-point shooting. The Celtics' scoring in the paint has also dipped compared to last season, indicating areas for improvement as the team adjusts to its new roster.
