BOSTON – Most members of the current Celtics core have experienced having the entire city of Boston on their back for a postseason run, but they have yet to taste the euphoria of actually bringing a banner to the city. Sunday night, they got an idea of what that feeling could be like by watching the Red Sox capture a World Series crown for Boston.
The C’s already had banner aspirations heading into this season, but by witnessing the excitement surrounding the championship run of their cross-town neighbors, their motivation to hop aboard Boston’s title train grew even more.
