BOSTON -- It took 16 years, but the Boston Celtics officially raised banner No. 18 to the TD Garden rafters Tuesday night, as the franchise celebrated its record-setting 18th NBA championship ahead of their season opener against their Atlantic Division rivals, the New York Knicks, in the first game of the 2024-25 NBA season.
"I can honestly say, to the best fans in the world," Jayson Tatum said with a smile, "let's do it again."
After years of playoff disappointment and heartbreak, Boston tore through the league last season, winning 64 games in the regular season before cruising through the playoffs with ease, going 16-3 to claim the organization's first title since 2008.
