Celtics dominant in preseason finale; roster decisions loom

Celtics showcase potent offense and defensive dominance with revamped roster in preseason finale victory.

The Boston Celtics concluded their preseason with a dominant 127-99 victory over the Charlotte Hornets, showcasing the team's potential with newly revamped roster. Major contributors to the game included Jaylen Brown with 20 points and Neemias Queta with 12 points and seven rebounds off the bench.
By the end of the Cavaliers preseason, the Celtics held a record of 4-1, holding the Hornets to 31.9 percent shooting in the first half and forcing 24 Hornets turnovers.
Despite the impressive preseason performance, the success of the Celtics' drastic roster overhaul will ultimately be evaluated on how well the new pieces function together. Key assets like Kristaps Porziņģis and Jrue Holiday bring new elements to the Boston's offensive and defensive strategies.
The preseason has showcased the Celtics' adaptability. With versatile players like Jayson Tatum in the power forward position and Porziņģis in the center, the team can pose a significant threat in various scenarios.
The Celtics line-up is still being finalized with potential modifications to be made before the regular season starts next Wednesday against the Knicks. According to Celtics' coach Joe Mazzulla, the eventual 'first five guys to start the game', a term he prefers to 'starters', will be based on the best match-up strategy rather than fixed positions.
