The Celtics are about get some good injury news — and a major boost
MIAMI — As Jayson Tatum concluded his media availability on Wednesday morning, Nikola Vucevic sauntered by. “Say something nice about me, Jayson!” Vucevic belted after passing by the scrum. “Vooch?

How Celtics sharpshooter Sam Hauser snapped slump by scorching the Heat
Before Wednesday night, Boston Celtics sharpshooter Sam Hauser was mired in a 3-point slump that spanned two months. He shot 33 percent last month and 37.5 percent in February — well below his career 41 percent. Then, in the first quarter against the Miami Heat, he caught fire. Hauser shot a perfect 6-for-6 to begin, […]
Celtics vs. Heat player grades: Brown scores 43, Tatum records triple-double in blowout over Miami

It’s always tough sledding against the Heat, but a 53-point first quarter (11-15 from 3) and 80 points in the first half are indicative of just how much these teams have changed. The Heat and Celtics are on both ends of the pace spectrum at 104.4 […]
