It's always a special atmosphere when these two teams meet, but tonight's game at Chase Center feels particularly heavy for both sides. The Celtics are coming into the second half of the season looking like a legitimate juggernaut, holding onto the second seed in the East despite the massive hole left by Jayson Tatum's absence. Jaylen Brown has stepped into that primary role and has been one of the season's best storylines. He's playing with a level of aggression and efficiency that has completely shifted the ceiling for this Boston squad.

From beloved Bay Area icons returning home to the best rookie in the league to a possible trade target and more, there is plenty for Warriors fans to be excited about.
Just playing fast is no longer enough in today's NBA, playing at a brisk pace now the default. With players skewing more and more athletic, and as long-distance shooting stretches defenses to their limit, offenses are pushing the limit on how fast they can play. Twenty-two teams are playing with a pace rating of at least 100, up from 14 a year ago.
