The Boston Celtics raised their
championship banner #18 with jubilation as they took down the New
York Knicks on Tuesday night at the Boston Garden.

Members of the 2023-2024 title
squad were each handed out their respective championship rings
pregame. It is Boston’s 18th NBA championship, making them the
winningest franchise in league history.

To celebrate their first title,
Jayson Tatum and the rest of the Celtics ran the visiting Knicks
down the court all game, earning a resounding 132-109 win. Tatum
had a monster game in just 30 minutes, finishing with 37 points on
14-18 FG and 8-11 from three with 10 assists and 4
rebounds.

The Celtics as a team tied an
NBA record for three pointers made in a game with 29, along with
the Milwaukee Bucks who did it in 2020. Boston fully embraced coach
Joe Mazzulla’s philosophies with 61 three-point attempts, and this
same formula won them a title a year ago.

Boston got everybody to
contribute with Derrick White’s 24, Jaylen Brown’s 23, and Jrue
Holiday’s 18 proved to be too much for the new-look New York team
with Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges playing their first
official regular season games with the team.

The night was such a cool moment
for Boston’s sports fans as former Celtic legends Bob Cousy (who
came out in a wheelchair), Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray
Allen all graced the game to see the 2024 championship banner go up
next to the 17 others already in the rafters.
