SOUND OFF with the Boston Celtics

The Charlotte Hornets are on a run that’s reminiscent of the one the 2022 Celtics rode all the way to the NBA Finals. Charlotte continued its hot streak by downing the Celtics by 29 points Wednesday night at TD Garden behind a balanced offensive attack led by rookie star Kon Knueppel. Boston, meanwhile, struggled at both ends despite Derrick White going off for a game-high 29 points.

The list of challenges the Celtics faced Monday night was as long as a book. Yet none if it mattered. They came out and demolished the Milwaukee Bucks on the night of Giannis Antetnokounmpo’s return to continue their magical run this season. Who was the key to it all? None other than the 20-year-old rookie, Hugo Gonzalez, who got a spot start with Jaylen Brown missing the game due to illness. You...

The Celtics made just seven 3-pointers Sunday afternoon against the Knicks, setting a new season low and tying for their lowest total in the past two seasons.

Anfernee Simons also sizzled off the bench with 27 points that totally changed the g...

Payton Pritchard dazzled with his elite handles and shot-making ability Friday night against the Sacramento Kings. He scored a game-high 29 points, including a season-best 22 during the first half.
