They defeated the Mavs in game 5, winning the series 4 games to 1.

Jaylen Brown was NBA Finals MVP.

Kristaps Porzingis came into the game with an injury to give them a lift.

Jrue Holiday got them jump started in the first quarter.

Derrick White lost part of a tooth in a face plant on the floor.

Payton Pritchard hit a buzzer beater to go into half time.

Sam Hauser hit two big threes.

Al Horford set the record for most playoff wins before winning an NBA Finals.

And Jayson Tatum led the team with 31 points. 

We watched the entire second half as a family.

What an amazing ending to an amazing season. It is incredible to call the 2024 Celtics NBA Champs!!!

 

The One Where the NBA FInals Returns to Boston

 

It has been almost 12 years to the day (minus a week). But tonight, the NBA Finals returned to the TD Boston Garden for the first time since June 13, 2010 (a game the Celtics won to go up 3-2 in the Finals).

Tonight, the Celtics are playing Game 3 against the Golden State Warriors. The crowd is amped. The Celtics seem ready to get back at the Warriors and Draymond Green (whose antics got them Celtics off track in the last game).

 

The Celtics are trying to push the tempo and ahead 18 to 9 with 5:25 left in quarter 1.

 

GO CELTICS!!!
