On this day: Celtics tie greatest single-season turnaround in history; Wynder debut

On this day in Boston Celtics history, the ball club tied the NBA record for the biggest record turnaround in a single season for any team in the history of the league.

The team they tied was the 1997-98 San Antonio Spurs, who went from 20-62 the season prior to 56-26 the next. Boston went 24-58 in 2006-07, and the victory, a 92-77 win over the Indiana Pacers, gave the Celtics a 60-15 record so far that season (they would finish 66-16, losing just one more contest that season). Still, for the Celtics, the regular season record was far from the focus.
