“It’s the NBA”: Joe Mazzulla used a 20-point Celtics deficit as a lesson in perspective
BOSTON — It only took an Andrew Nembhard free throw in the third quarter to push the Celtics into a 20-point deficit against the Pacers on Monday night — a spot that didn’t faze head coach Joe Mazzulla the slightest. “Being down 12 in the third quarter, I’m pretty comfortable with that because you see […]
Celtics complete 20-point comeback, beat Pacers 103-95
On a night when Jaylen Brown scored 31 points, it was Hugo Gonzalez who shined bright for the Celtics, playing nearly the entire second half. His energy was such a key in Boston’s comeback after they looked flat for the first half and the beginning of the 2nd half. Jordan Walsh joined Jayson Tatum on […]

Celtics get good injury news ahead of Indiana Pacers game
BOSTON — Jaylen Brown will return from a one-game absence when the Celtics face the Indiana Pacers on Monday night. Brown, who missed Friday’s win against the Toronto Raptors with a non-COVID illness, has been on a tear as of late, averaging 32.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 6.5 assists in his last 10 games.

10 Takeaways from a game won on the margins
#1 – Luka Garza and the Celtics controlled the board I never thought I would start the 10 Takeaways with Luka Garza, but here we are – and how could we not? In 26 minutes, the former Timberwolves big man grabbed nine offensive rebounds. That’s as many as the entire Raptors team. Led by Garza, […]
Luka Garza’s patience and grit have reinforced Joe Mazzulla’s “respect” for Celtics backup
It hasn’t been easy for first-year Celtics center Luka Garza this season, but the 26-year-old has found a silver lining on Boston’s bench as part of the Stay Ready crew. Garza, like most non-returning players from last season’s Celtics roster, didn’t have anything guaranteed when Boston signed him to a two-year, $5.5 million contract in […]

Celtics injury report reveals star could miss Raptors game
BOSTON — Jaylen Brown is doubtful to play in Saturday’s Celtics game against the Toronto Raptors, listed on the injury report with a non-COVID illness. Brown is fresh off a 30-point, 9-rebound, 7-assist win against the Miami Heat on Friday night, and has scored at least 30 points in 9 of his last 10 games. […]

10 Takeaways From the Celtics fiery win over the Heat
1. 4th Quarter Explosion On a night that was honoring Isaiah Thomas, it seemed fitting that the Celtics used a huge fourth quarter to take down the Miami Heat 129-116. Boston shot 13-21 from the field and hit a new franchise record 10 three-pointers, shooting 10-15 from beyond the arc. The Celtics had a 3-point […]

BOSTON — Nine years after Isaiah Thomas scored a career-high 52 points to etch his name into Celtics history, the now-36-year-old returned to the place he once called home and watched as Boston channeled its inner I.T. to get back in the win column against the Heat on Friday night. Thomas shared courtside seats with […]
Hugo Gonzalez is learning the power of emotion
BOSTON — In a Monday night loss against the Detroit Pistons, Hugo Gonzalez came in to close the third quarter for the Celtics — only to immediately get scored on, and subsequently turn over the ball. In response to the disappointing sequence of plays, the 19-year-old punched the Celtics’ bench in frustration, angered at his […]
Derrick White’s hot shooting leads Celtics past Heat, 129-116

Three things to look for as the Celtics try to bounce back against the Heat
After winning five straight, seven of eight and 10 of 12, the Celtics now find themselves amid a mini two-game losing streak for the first time since early November. The second half against the Bucks was a bit of an uncharacteristic dud. The Pistons game was more competitive, but Detroit made timely plays down the […]
Celtics small ball leading to offensive surge and defensive dip
The Celtics entered Monday’s meeting against arguably the most physically imposing front court in the league with one rotation center — Neemias Queta. With Luka Garza and Xavier Tillman out of the rotation for now, Josh Minott has started to handle the backup big minutes. Even Jordan Walsh and Hugo González have found recently themselves […]
From Luke Kornet to Neemias Queta: the evolution of the Celtics center
The Celtics’ recent success has not only been built on stars and shot creation, but also on a quieter, more structural dominance inside. Over the last two seasons, Boston has found ways to maximize the impact of big men who were once considered marginal NBA players. Over the last few years since Brad Stevens took […]

BOSTON — The Celtics could be without Sam Hauser and Josh Minott ahead of Friday’s game against the Miami Heat.

Minott, meanwhile, is also on the injury report, listed […]

BOSTON — Brad Stevens didn’t know what to expect after the Celtics lost five of last year’s eight rotation players in the offseason. Stevens knew that the team was bringing back several proven, championship players — Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, and Payton Pritchard — but also that the team’s ceiling could hinge on the play […]
