The lights dimmed, the spotlights swirled, and Mike Gorman sat at center court ready to address the TD Garden crowd for the last time as the Celtics’ play-by-play announcer.
Tributes for Gorman poured in throughout the day. Mayor Michelle Wu, who had declared Sunday as “Mike Gorman Day” in Boston, attended the game. The Celtics played a video featuring shoutouts from Danny Ainge, Doc Rivers, and TNT’s “Inside the NBA” crew.
