The Boston Celtics are set to face off against the Minnesota Timberwolves in a highly anticipated NBA clash on Sunday at TD Garden. The Celtics, who are currently second in the Eastern Conference with a 13-3 record, will look to extend their winning streak, while the Timberwolves, sitting at 10th place in the Western Conference with an 8-7 record, aim to bounce back after a recent loss.
Boston comes into the match with a five-game winning streak, including a recent victory over the Washington Wizards where Jalen Brown led the team with 31 points. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves recently suffered a defeat against the Toronto Raptors, showcasing tensions within the team and inconsistent play.
