Drained at the end of a four-game West Coast swing, the Celtics turned in their worst shooting performance of the season in Wednesday’s loss to the Denver Nuggets. Two nights later, they delivered one of the best in NBA history. Back on the TD Garden parquet for the first time in 15 days, Boston walloped the Brooklyn Nets 148-111 while shooting an eye-popping 66.7% from the field and 64.7% from 3-point range (22-for-34). The Celtics were shooting nearly 70% before late misses by end-of-the-bench players dropped their average. Even with that dip, their 80.8% effective field-goal percentage was a single-game…

CAMBRIDGE – The crowd was deafening. The pressure at its peak. Noah Feldman answered the bell.

Welcome back to our preview of 2026 Red Sox starting pitching. If you missed the bulk of the preview last week, check it out below.Today, we turn our attention to the back of the back of the rotation: the depth starters.

NORTH PORT, Fla. — It’s been seven months since Marcelo Mayer suffered what turned out to be a season-ending wrist sprain last July in Philadelphia, but Friday’s return proved more than worth the wait. Mayer hit a home run off Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias in his spring debut, a 381-foot bomb to right field in what was an otherwise forgettable 15-8 Red Sox loss. “I definitely felt like myself again,” Mayer said. “I think in the offseason when you don’t play you kind of lose part of yourself because this is what we do. So yeah, it was a…

NORTH PORT, Fla. — The Red Sox appear to have dodged a huge bullet. During the bottom of the first inning of Friday’s game against the Atlanta Braves, Red Sox outfielders Roman Anthony and Ceddanne Rafaela collided in left field trying to chase down a fly ball off the bat of Jurickson Profar. The two went down and were immediately attended by the trainers, but after a couple of minutes both were back on their feet and remained in the game.

The New England Patriots won’t have a top-five pick like they have the last two years, but that shouldn’t stop them from addressing their needs in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Mike Vrabel and the Patriots will peruse free agency and the trade market for impact players, but there will also be intriguing options when they’re on the clock with the 31st overall pick. The question is, which draft prospects fit the Vrabel mold?…
