Torrey Craig came into the Spurs win and produced during his limited minutes, impressing in his Celtics debut.

The Celtics head into the All-Star break with seven wins in their last eight games after defeating the Spurs 116-103 on Wednesday night.

Despite winning six of its past seven games, Boston has dropped three of its past four at TD Garden, contributing to an underwhelming 16-10 home record.

BOSTON -- The trade deadline has come and gone, and the All-Star break is so close you can almost feel it. Before it gets here, though, the San Antonio Spurs will take on the defending champion Boston Celtics in the last leg of a six-game road trip. Tipoff is set for Wednesday at 7 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.

Boston has been the best road team in the league this season with a 21-6 record away from home. The Celtics were dominant at Madison Square Garden over the weekend, in part thanks to strong performances from secondary players like Luke Kornet (14 points, 12 rebounds), Payton Pritchard (25 points), and Neemias Queta (11 points, eight rebounds).

Jrue Holiday will miss his fourth-straight contest as he continues to recover from a right shoulder injury. While missing key players like Brown and Holiday is not ideal, the Celtics boast one of the deepest rosters in the NBA and have capable replacements ready to step up.

This should be a fairly easy win for Boston, so long as they play with the level of respect San Antonio deserves -- but will they?

The Celtics enter the All-Star winning seven of their last eight games after beating the Spurs on their home court.
