The spirit of a championship is still present. 
Both their starters and their bench performed admirably. 
The system of Joe Mazzulla is operating ahead of schedule. 

Concerning the Knicks: 
There must be significant advancements in perimeter defense. 
Thibodeau will require more inside-out offensive movement and quicker rotations. 
Though it's early, there is a clear separation
between New York and the title contenders.

Boston made an impact in addition to winning. 
The Celtics are proving they are prepared to defend the title with their depth, chemistry, and star power.
