BOSTON -- The Boston Celtics entered the season vowing to turn recent playoff heartbreaks into happiness.
Eight months later, they toasted the franchise's 18th championship in what has become the signature Boston celebration, joined Friday by a huge crowd for a duck boat parade to mark the 13th championship won this century by one of the city's franchises in the four biggest U.S. sports leagues.
The Celtics, Patriots, Red Sox and Bruins have all commemorated championships by jumping aboard the duck boats -- amphibious vehicles usually ridden by sightseeing tourists.
