Latest news and updates about the Celtics
The Boston Celtics have surged into third place in the Eastern Conference after holding off the Toronto Raptors on the road, winning 121-113. Boston has now won 10 of its last 12 games and boasts the league’s best offensive rating over that span. Jaylen Brown has continued to set the tone for the Celtics, […]
No team in the Eastern Conference has caught fire to the levels the Celtics have, but even their red-hot streak isn’t enough for the team to give itself a well-deserved pat on the back. The Celtics packed their passports — and their four-game winning streak — en route to Toronto, leaving with a fifth consecutive […]
A lot can change game to game in an NBA season. For the Toronto Raptors, there was a bit of a pattern over the weekend. It started when they played the LA Lakers on Thursday night, losing by a buzzer-beater shot assisted by LeBron James. It wasn’t necessarily a bad loss, but after the game, […]
Riding a four-game win streak into a mid-Sunday affair with the Toronto Raptors (15-10), the Boston Celtics (15-9) continued building momentum with their fifth straight win, holding off a Raptors comeback attempt that led to four fourth quarter lead changes before Boston pulled away, 121-113. With a clean bill of health outside of Jayson Tatum, […]
Over the past few seasons, two names have been at the top of the fan wishlist for the Portland Trail Blazers to trade: Anfernee Simons and Jerami Grant. The first wish was granted in June when Simons was sent to the Boston Celtics for Jrue Holiday. Attention then turned to Grant over the summer, but […]

Already this season the Toronto Raptors have seen some hills and valleys. A 9-game winning streak has turned into dropping 4 of the last 5 games and scoring a season-low in their most recent outing against Charlotte. Now, in the midst of their home-stand, they need to see if they are able to stop the […]
That was better. A game after losing by 45 to the Boston Celtics, the Wizards fell behind by as much as 20 in the first half, erased that entire deficit to tie the game early in the fourth quarter, and then got bum rushed over the final 10 minutes to lose by 15. Yes, this […]

Herald Celtics’ Jordan Walsh can be one of NBA’s best defenders, Lakers guard says Jaylen Brown, Celtics blow out Lakers while LeBron James, Luka Doncic sit Globe After nine years with Celtics, Marcus Smart is ‘excited and proud’ to be a Laker Without LeBron James and Luka Doncic, Celtics-Lakers somehow felt like ‘just another game’ […]
With Luka Dončić and LeBron James out for LA’s contest against the Celtics, the Lakers needed somebody to step up and produce so they could continue winning during this road trip. Typically, Austin Reaves has not only embraced but also thrived in this role. He had 51 points against the Kings earlier this year when […]
A win against the Lakers is always a good win. It's funny that they were whining about JJ not playing Vanderbilt when probably if he did, they would have trashed him like they did everyone else who did play. It would seem that LeBron isn't all that popular with Lakers fans either. Still so many comments about Jaylen's hairline. Lakers fans are really so bad trashing every player on their team. My favorites are in bold. What are yours? The B...
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. […]
