After orchestrating an NBA-best 19-4 start for the Boston Celtics, head coach Brad Stevens was named the Eastern Conference Coach of the Month:

The award winners for this category aren't too surprising, as both Stevens and Mike D'Antonio boast the best records in their conferences. I mean, let's just recap how Stevens and the Celtics performed through October and November:

Stevens clearly had the award locked up. This is the third time that the 41-year-old has been recognized with a Coach of the Month award, with his last coming in February of 2016.
Well done, Coach Stevens!
