Latest news and updates about the Celtics
Back in mid-November, the Celtics found themselves sitting with a 5-7 record – still searching for consistency, struggling to close out tight games and trying to find their identity. Since that point, they’ve looked like a mature and battle-tested team that has the answers to the test. The Celtics are playing inspired basketball and have […]
Keeping the engine running and their three-game winning streak alive was the top priority for the Celtics on Friday night. So the team leaned on its roots against the LeBron James- and Luka Dončić-less Lakers: returning to the philosophy of Mazzulla-ball. It took only seven minutes and nine seconds into the first quarter for Boston […]
Well, that was a basketball game. The shorthanded Lakers didn’t have a chance at all at beating the Celtics. Boston started red-hot from 3-point range and ended the game hitting 24 from beyond the arc. Los Angeles appeared exhausted and unable to put up much of a fight. Head coach JJ Redick cleared his bench […]
With Jayson Tatum, LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Marcus Smart all sidelined, this watered-down version of Celtics-Lakers didn’t carry quite the same weight as many others over the years. But, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Jordan Walsh and Payton Pritchard ensured Celtics fans still got their money’s worth. Brown led the way with 30 points, 8 […]
The Lakers couldn’t find enough firepower to stop the Boston Celtics, losing 126-105, on Friday night. LA had a rough start offensively, allowing the Celtics to take an early eight-point lead. Derrick White drained two quick 3-pointers. At the 6:39 mark, the Lakers were still in single digits with just seven points scored. Los Angeles […]
UPDATE: The Lakers made it official ruling LeBron James out against the Celtics due to right sciatica and left joint arthritis. This will make beating Boston that much harder, but given that LeBron is the oldest player in the NBA, it makes sense for him not to push it and play both games in back-to-back matchups. […]

BOSTON — The Boston Celtics (13-9) and Los Angeles Lakers (16-5) will both be coming off Thursday night wins when they face each other on Friday at TD Garden.

#1 – Assists percentage through the roof The Celtics are dead last in assist percentage this season, with an assist on only 56.5% of their baskets. This is directly linked to Boston’s huge tendency to lean on isolation, especially with Jaylen Brown. Last night, as the Celtics’ go-to guy was resting, the team needed to […]
The Boston Celtics dominated the Washington Wizards in the nation’s capital, with their revamped defensive approach playing a pivotal role in the victory. Before the season, coach Joe Mazzulla talked about playing to the strengths of his new roster. On offense that meant welcoming the idea of taking fewer threes as the Celtics lost some […]
So, I’m on the road and failed to pack anything to read. The best options where I’m saying are a book about The Actors Studio by James Lipton, the first chapter of which was surprisingly dull, and a memoir(?) by Chelsea Handler, which is not funny, interesting, or insightful. Spending the evening reading either would […]
A lot has happened since Boston’s first matchup with the Washington Wizards. Nearly a month apart from their first encounter, the result of a Boston blowout victory remained constant, but the Celtics find themselves in a different spot than the 4-5 record they sported after that early November matchup. Another constant is the team’s usage […]
Everyone on Boston’s sideline felt as cool as a New England night in December as the Celtics trampled the Wizards in D.C. But the biggest smile came from Derrick White, decked out in a warm-up. White’s 30-point near-double-double helped the Celtics dismantle the Wizards on Thursday night, delivering Boston’s highest scoring output of the season […]

WASHINGTON D.C. — For the vast majority of basketball players, nothing is more energizing than scoring. The sound of the ball swishing through the net. The points on the scoreboard. The dejected look on the opponent’s face. The rousing cheers. It’s no secret; how many times have you heard coaches lament how missed shots impacted […]

Celtics play-by-play announcer Drew Carter coined a new phrase during Boston’s blowout win over the Wizards: ‘Walshington D.C.’ Jordan Walsh set a new career high with 22 points and he did not miss a shot.
