In games 8, 9, and 10, the Celtics bench shot 5-18 for 16 points, 3-17 for 16 points, and 4-10 for 12 points. As you can see from the above graph, they've kicked it up a notch over the last three games. Even more so, if you focus on the top three performers off the bench each game. Collectively, the top three bench performers have shot 32-48 from the field, or 66%, for a total of 80 points, or better than 25 points per game. Yowza!

The Celtics can't expect this kind of production every game.

But a little more consistency, even if less overwhelming, would be nice.
