Jayson Tatum warming up. I don’t think the smile has left his face since he walked into TD Garden today.

Jason Kidd on Cooper Flagg being back in New England: “Yeah, I think it’s a big game for Coop… To be here with his home, his home state of Maine will be here tonight, it’s exciting.”

Joe Mazzulla on Jayson Tatum: "Just because he was hurt doesn't mean he wasn't part of the team."

Joe Mazzulla on Jayson Tatum: "We always knew he was coming back this year. I think I knew that when he decided to have surgery within a 16-hour span, or whatever the case was. But you give him credit for the vulnerability and the communication."

Xavier Tillman meant so much more to the Celtics than basketball Analysis only goes so far. And though using the word ‘ugly’ over and over again to describe Wednesday night’s Boston Celtics game against the Charlotte Hornets isn’t exactly in-depth, sometimes, it’s ...

Xavier Tillman meant so much more to the Celtics than just basketball. Now, he's a Hornet.

But in his return to TD Garden, there wasn't a single face without a smile on it.

On Tillman's return, an ugly basketball game, and more for BSJ: bostonsportsjournal.com/2026/03/05/s...

How Hugo Gonzalez helped Celtics spoil Giannis Antetokounmpo's return It was the second night of a back-to-back for the Boston Celtics, and they were staring down the return of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who hadn’t appeared in a game since January 23. Not only that, but the...

“Less than one minute into the game, Hugo Gonzalez crashed the offensive glass, beat three Bucks players to the ball, and drew a foul on Myles Turner.

“That’s when everyone should have known what was about to happen.”

Neemias Queta dominated on Sunday night. But how? What actually happened?

“It’s so much easier for me right now.”

The 76ers decided to pressure the Celtics’ stars. Queta made them pay.

Celtics hyping up Neemias Queta right now. He’s having the game of his life.

16 pts, 10 rebs, 2 ast, 1 stl, 1 blk

And he’s only played 13:42 so far.

Awesome Neemias Queta game so far. He and Derrick White in the PnR have breathed life into this Celtics offense.

Nikola Vucevic helped Celtics find secret weapon in historic offensive showing On Friday night, for the first time in nearly three weeks, there was Boston Celtics basketball at TD Garden. They welcomed the Brooklyn Nets to town, and based on the two teams’ first three encounters...

The Celtics’ offense was a well-oiled machine against the Nets, and Nikola Vucevic was the cog that made it run.

How did Boston piece together one of the greatest offensive performances in NBA history?

The national media got the Nikola Jokic truth wrong in Celtics game Sometimes, the travel catches up. A week-long road trip on the West Coast right after the All-Star break. Three games in four nights to end it. And, the cherry on top, a road-road back-to-back, with t...

How did the Celtics lose to the Nuggets on Wednesday? What happened?

And why did the national media perceive the game completely wrong?

One Celtics play (and two players' hustle) changed the game vs. Suns At first, it looked like the Boston Celtics had run out of juice. Two straight blowouts on the West Coast, but a quick trip to Arizona seemed to be the end of the line. Shots weren’t falling, despite ...

Baylor Scheierman and Ron Harper Jr. both played 30+ minutes against the Suns.

But what made them so impactful? What did that impact look like?
