The Boston Celtics looked much like the defending champions during the 2024-25 season, but ultimately came up short with a loss against the New York Knicks in the 2025 Eastern Conference Semifinals. To make matters worse, the Celtics lost their franchise star Jayson Tatum to an achilles injury in game 5 of the series versus the Knicks. Despite the 61-21 regular season record, the Celtics were the no. 2 seed behind the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Celtics, for many, were the heavy favorites to win the East and maybe the NBA Finals, but came up short.
- Regular Season Record: 61-21
- Playoff Result: Eastern Conference First Round: 4-1, Eastern Conference Semifinals: 2-4
