Sam Hauser tied his career high with 10 made 3-pointers, and let us tell you, he did everything he could to tie the Celtics franchise record for most threes in a game (it was actually kinda funny). We dive into that, plus Jaylen Brown going crazy in front of his family and hometown to rack up 41 points in the first three quarters before he kicked his feet up and enjoyed the blowout from the bench during the fourth quarter. Let's just say the Celtics' offense is back in action.
Anfernee Simons saved the Celtics by scoring a franchise-record 39 points off the bench during an away game Thursday night to propel a comeback from 19 points down. We break down his performance and touch on Joe Mazzulla's brilliant coaching decisions, plus dive into how the Celtics pulled off this win despite Derrick White and Payton Pritchard combining for only 10 points. Hint: It has to do with dominating the glass.
The Celtics battled back from 13 points down and tied the game during the final minute before Pascal Siakam's game-winning shot with 6.1 seconds left. This was the fourth straight game that went down to the final minutes for Boston. We explain what went down during those final moments, touch on a few individual performances, and take a look ahead at what's to come for the C's for the rest of their road trip.
Victor Wembanyama is often referred to as ‘Alien,’ and he looked like one during crunch time Saturday night. He drained two shots, first over Neemias Queta and next over Baylor Scheierman, that were utterly unstoppable to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a win over the Boston Celtics. Let’s examine those moments, plus Boston’s narrow loss, which included strong moments from Scheierman, an inability to get to the free-throw line, and one of its lowest scoring nights of the season.
Sure sounds like the Boston Celtics knew that the Toronto Raptors would apply as much pressure as possible to the 3-point line Friday night. The Celtics said go ahead, and took advantage of Toronto’s defense by producing 39 layups, 62 points in the paint, and 19 free throw attempts. The keys to it all were Payton Pritchard and Jaylen Brown, who became the first Celtics duo in nearly 40 years to put up at least 25 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds on the same night.
Neemias Queta grabbed a career-high 20 rebounds Wednesday night, but the undermanned Denver Nuggets found a way to overcome him and the Boston Celtics for a 114-110 win. Denver, of course, is playing without three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic. We break down what went wrong for the Celtics, and who stood out individually, during the loss.
The Boston Celtics have passed the New York Knicks in the standings and are now the No. 2 seed in the NBA’s Eastern Conference. Boston returned from a West Coast trip that just ended in Los Angeles and crushed the Chicago Bulls, 115-101. Anfernee Simons was the offensive engine, as he scored 27 points during the second half alone. We discuss his emergence as a dangerous weapon off of Boston’s bench, and why this was such an impressive win for the red-hot Celtics.
The Celtics grabbed their third double-digit win of the road trip Friday night with a 120-106 win over the Kings in Sacramento. Derrick White and Jaylen Brown combined for 22 points during the fourth quarter, and seven Celtics scored at least 11 points. It was a total team effort, and we’re detailing how it all went down.
The Celtics were sluggish Tuesday night. No way around it. But they found a way to grab a win on the road, in altitude, thanks to a full team effort that saw players deliver exactly what the team needed at different stages of the game. In particular tonight, we highlight Luka Garza, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Payton Pritchard and Anfernee Simons.
The Celtics opened up their road trip with some offensive fireworks, dropping 140 points on the Indiana Pacers while grabbing their fourth straight win. We detail who stepped up for Boston, how the C’s responded to some early punches from the Pacers, and why Joe Mazzulla was loving the Jordan Walsh-TJ McConnell spat that led to each player picking up a technical foul.
Playing on the second night of a back-to-back and without Jaylen Brown, the Celtics took down the Toronto Raptors to jump up to the No. 3 seed in the East. How did they pull it off? Payton Pritchard, Hugo Gonzalez and Luka Garza played major roles in making it happen. We dive into the night, and questions after the W, in our latest episode of SOUND OFF.
The Celtics caught fire at the start of the fourth quarter and wound up drilling 10 threes during the final period to pull away for the 129-116 win over the Miami Heat. The Celtics did it all in front of the King in the Fourth himself, Isaiah Thomas, who was sitting courtside as the C’s celebrated his 52-point game against the Heat back in 2016. Derrick White scored 33 points, Jaylen Brown scored 30, and the bench, led by Hugo Gonzalez, Sam Hauser and Anfernee Simons, was lights out.
For the third time in three meetings this season, the Celtics and Pistons went down to the wire. That’s got us thinking: wouldn’t a playoff series between these two teams be ridiculously entertaining? The Pistons came out on top this time and we dive into what went wrong for the Celtics, highlighted by missed free throws and not taking advantage of Cade Cunningham’s foul trouble.
The Celtics looked like themselves during the first half of their matchup with the Bucks, scoring 67 points on 52.4 percent shooting. That offensive rhythm somehow disappeared during the second half while Bobby Portis (27 points) and Kyle Kuzma (31 points) caught fire for Milwaukee. A couple positive takeaways? Jaylen Brown notched another efficient 30-point game, and Jordan Walsh continue to impress at both ends. We discuss it all in tonight’s episode of SOUND OFF.
The Celtics were on the second night of a back-to-back. They were playing for the fifth time in seven nights. None of it mattered, because they picked the Los Angeles Lakers apart en route to a 21-point win to #BeatLA. This win caps a remarkable stretch of winning basketball, which one of our fans comments isn’t a fluke. Oh and Jaylen Brown and Jordan Walsh delivered big nights yet again, which has turned into a trend over the last week.
The Celtics took care of business on the first night of a back-to-back, and they did it in emphatic fashion by beating the Washington Wizards by a ridiculous 45 points. Oh, and they did it without Jaylen Brown! How, you might ask? We’ve got the answers, and they start with Derrick White and Jordan Walsh.
Jaylen Brown was masterful tonight, scoring 42 points on only 24 shots, but the Celtics needed other players to deliver in the clutch to help push them past yet another top East opponent. Jordan Walsh, Josh Minott and Hugo Gonzalez were there to deliver, and as a result, the Celtics have now won six of their last seven games against top-six seeds in the Eastern Conference.
The Celtics didn’t back down to the Cavs despite playing on the second night of a back-to-back and without two of their starters. Instead, Boston took it to the host team and logged its most impressive win of the season. We dive into the stellar performances from Payton Pritchard (42 points) and Jaylen Brown (triple-double), while highlighting the ‘others’ who stepped up. We also take a comment from one fan who believes the Celtics are one player (ahem, No. 0) away from competing in the East.
Ball Don’t Lie was on full display on Thanksgiving Eve as Cade Cunningham missed a potential game-tying free throw with 4.4 seconds left that came after a tough call that went against the Celtics. Boston, behind 60 combined points from Jaylen Brown (33 points) and Derrick White (27 points) dodged the bad luck and snapped the hottest team in the league’s 13-game win streak. We also gotta give some love to Baylor Scheierman for his impact and ability to steady the ship for the C’s after a shaky start as a team.
The Boston Celtics bounced back from an ugly loss Friday night, and they did it in eye-popping fashion against the Orlando Magic. Jaylen Brown led the display of offensive fireworks by dropping a game-high 35 points as the Celtics scored a season high 138 points, including 80 during the first half alone. It was also Brown who hit the two biggest shots of the night to slam the door shut on Orlando’s unsuccessful comeback bid.
