C's 27-2 Start Best In NBA History; Extends Win Streak To 19

After tonight's easy 110-91 win over the 76ers, the Celtics become the first NBA team to ever start a season 27-2. Not even the '96 Bulls started off 27-2. Crazy!

And on top of being 27-2, the C's haven't lost since November 14th against the Nuggets. They are December-0 this month and will try to extend their streak to 20 against the Lakers on Christmas day (5pm, ABC). Ironically enough, this 19th win ties them with the 2000 Lakers for the 4th longest winning streak in NBA history. The longest of all-time is 33 by the 71-72 Lakers.
