2024 NBA Playoffs Day 24 Recap: Celtics seize control, Thunder clutch in comeback win

The Boston Celtics inched closer to yet another Eastern Conference Finals appearance and the Oklahoma City Thunder churned out a clutch win on the road on Day 24 of the 2024 NBA Playoffs on Monday night.

The Celtics won yet again on the road to still have a perfect record on that end after surviving the Cleveland Cavaliers who played without Donovan Mitchell. Mitchell was ruled out of the game due to a calf strain but the Cavs gave the Celtics a fight throughout the game. However, missing Mitchell was just too much for the Cavs as they succumbed to a loss. Boston now moves one win for another ECF appearance, a realm they’ve been on over the past two years. 

The Thunder regained their footing after a seemingly lost game to come up big in the clutch and steal one vs Dallas on the road. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was masterful, providing a signature MVP-worthy performance by putting his team on his back to deliver them the victory.
