From 1959 to 1966, the Boston Celtics dominated the NBA. They won eight of their 18 titles during this time – a series that is still unparalleled today. After almost sixteen years without a championship trophy The Celtics won the cup again last season under coach Joe Mazzulla. A milestone, because Boston is currently the sole record winner again.
The start of a new series? At least the team is defending its title – if it comes to that NBA 2K25 goes. 2K Games predicted the title defense with its basketball simulation. However, the publisher left it open how many games the reigning champions would need for this. The information became more concrete in the Conference Finals: According to the simulation, Boston beat the New York Knicks after 4-2 games. The Oklahoma City Thunder followed them into the final after their triumph over the Dallas Mavericks (4:3). MVP of the season in the simulation was Luka Doncic.
Boston wins in the opener against the Knicks
On the real court, the Boston Celtics have confirmed their ambitions and those of the NBA 2K25 prophecy. The star ensemble around Jayson Tatum defeated the New York Knicks 132:109 at the start of the season. Tatum in particular impressed with 37 points and ten assists. Since the Knickerbockers are also rated as strong by the American experts, Boston’s opening success should definitely be seen as an exclamation point.

In addition, the reigning champions bizarrely missed a record. Al Horford marked his 29th goal from outside the line in a game with his successful three-point throw. Boston still had just under nine minutes to break the Milwaukee Bucks’ record from the 20/21 season. But another throw for three points should no longer go through the net.
