WHEN THE BOSTON CELTICS convened for training camp in September, it began yet another NBA champion's quest to repeat for the first time since the 2017-18 season.

Now, just two weeks into the 2024-25 campaign, the Celtics will face the franchise whose record-shattering success they are trying to emulate: the Golden State Warriors (7:30 p.m. ET Wednesday, ESPN).

The matchup in Boston has even more buzz after Celtics star Jayson Tatum's time with Team USA this summer, which included Warriors coach Steve Kerr benching him twice.
