Defense, consistency, and accountability driving Boston’s recent winning play, according to Grant Williams

The Celtics forward had plenty to say about what’s been behind a surge in Boston’s recent play.

The Boston Celtics are on their second three-game winning streak of the 2021-22 NBA season while having clawed their way back to a .500 record to start the new year and second half of the NBA season off in earnest. But, by tying their modest win streak, have they truly turned a corner? Forward Grant Williams believes they have and pointed to three distinct tendencies he has seen in their play of late that tell him this Celtics team has made some important growth while speaking to the media after shootaround on Friday.

“I feel like the three biggest keys to our success recently has been not only our defense, as far as No. 1, just our consistency there,” began Williams.
