Don’t look now, but the Boston Celtics have won nine of their last 11 games after a big win against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. This success is far from people’s expectations ahead of the 2025-26 season, when people thought Jayson Tatum’s injury would hamper their chances of even reaching the Playoffs.
https://www.nba.com/celtics/news/sidebar-post-20251205-celtics-blow-past-lakers-jordan-walsh-makes-nba-history The Celtics dominated the Lakers for all 48 minutes in a 126-105 victory to win their fourth straight game and 9 of their last 11.
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.
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.
Let’s be honest for a second. If you bought tickets to Friday night’s showdown at TD Garden between the Lakers and Celtics months ago, you were probably envisioning a clash of titans.
Who is the best player in the history of every NBA franchise? That’s a tough question. Who is the most iconic player in the history of every NBA franchise?
Jaylen Brown had 30 points, eight rebounds and eight assists to help the Boston Celtics stretch their winning streak to four games by beating the visiting Los Angeles Lakers 126-105 Friday night.
Most NBA fans are tuned into Friday night's rivalry game between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers. With so much attention, Celtics guard Jaylen Brown used the opportunity to unveil a 3D-printed basketball shoe he is testing with his performance brand, 741.

BOSTON — The Boston Celtics (13-9) and Los Angeles Lakers (16-5) will both be coming off Thursday night wins when they face each other on Friday at TD Garden.
The NBA just witnessed history with LeBron James and his son, Bronny, sharing the court. It was a feel-good story, a testament to LeBron’s insane longevity and a new milestone for family legacies in sports.
Even without Jaylen Brown, the Boston Celtics barely broke a sweat Thursday night, rolling past the Washington Wizards 146–101 behind a season-best performance from Derrick White and a breakout night from rookie Jordan Walsh.
The Celtics are dead last in assist percentage this season, with an assist on only 56.5% of their baskets. This is directly linked to Boston’s huge tendency to lean on isolation, especially with Jaylen Brown.
The Boston Celtics dominated the Washington Wizards in the nation’s capital, with their revamped defensive approach playing a pivotal role in the victory. Before the season, coach Joe Mazzulla talked about playing to the strengths of his new roster.
A lot has happened since Boston’s first matchup with the Washington Wizards. Nearly a month apart from their first encounter, the result of a Boston blowout victory remained constant, but the Celtics find themselves in a different spot than the 4-5 record they sported after that early November matchup.
Derrick White had 30 points, nine assists and seven rebounds as the visiting Boston Celtics extended their winning streak to three games by beating the Washington Wizards 146-101 Thursday night.
The Boston Celtics began their season with some adversity. The team fought to reach .500 and is looking to hold onto a positive record as the year progresses.
The Detroit Pistons have been putting on a fantastic show to start the NBA regular season. They have a season-high 13-game winning streak, led by star player Cade Cunningham, rising star Jalen Duren, and their entourage.
Don’t look now, but the 2025-26 Boston Celtics are better than you — and probably most people — thought. Sure, coach Joe Mazzulla’s team isn’t exactly riding high atop the Eastern Conference standings.
The Boston Celtics dug in deep to outlast the deeper and superior New York Knicks on Tuesday night, thanks to a monster 42-point performance from Jaylen Brown and some strong efforts from Derrick White (7 points in the last few minutes) and other role players.
Joe Mazzulla continues to be an absolute basketball sicko. The Boston Celtics faced off on Tuesday against the New York Knicks at TD Garden in Boston, Mass.
The Boston Celtics suffered a huge blow against the Orlando Magic Nov. 23, when breakout center Neemeias Queta went down with a left ankle sprain. In his absence, though, rookie Amari Williams has stepped up and made a case for his regular inclusion in the Celtics' lineup.
The Cavaliers can’t keep spotting teams 20-point leads. They can’t allow players such as Payton Pritchard to stroll into Rocket Arena and torch them for 42.
Getting more outside shooting, either from within or through a midseason trade, could elevate the Pistons from a team having a hot start to a team with a chance at a title.
