It only took them six weeks, but the Boston Celtics are finally in playoff position in the Eastern Conference for the first time this season. The Celtics were off on Wednesday after beating the New York Knicks on Tuesday, but they still managed to gain ground in the standings. The Cleveland Cavaliers and Atlanta Hawks both lost, falling to 13-10. That allowed 12-9 Boston to pass them, jumping from the No. 8 seed to the No. 6 seed. It’s now only half a game behind the Orlando Magic for the No. 5 seed. Only the top six seeds in each…

Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft helped build a New England Patriots dynasty that spanned 20 years. Now, they could be headed to Canton together as inductees to the 2026 Pro Football Hall of Fame class. Belichick was selected as the coaching candidate while Kraft was picked as the contributor. Three seniors candidates also made the final stage, with Ken Anderson, Roger Craig and L.C. Greenwood all advancing. The selection committee can vote for three of the finalists, with candidates needing 80 percent of the votes to make it into the Hall. A maximum of three candidates can reach that threshold.…
NEW BEDFORD – Tri-County’s football program has battled adversity off the field all season. The Cougars overcame it all and Declan Walker was a hero on Wednesday. The senior quarterback completed 5-of-11 passes for 149 yards, finishing with a pair of touchdowns to shatter two school single-season records as the Cougars captured their second straight Vocational Bowl title with a 28-6 romp of Blue Hills. “Honestly, it meant everything,” said Tri-County coach Andy Gomes. “You never want to make excuses. These kids didn’t make any excuses. It didn’t matter that we didn’t have a field. It didn’t matter that we…
Professional baseball in North America is over for the time being. You may not miss it yet (there were 2,430 regular season Major League games this year, plus the postseason, the minors, and college baseball — it’s okay if you need a little break), but there will be a point in the coming months when you really, really do. It’ll be cold outside; it’ll be dark; all your shoes will be covered in salt stains; and walking down the street to get a sandwich will make you feel like Ernest Goddamn Shackleton. At that point, almost nothing will make you…

Jaylen Brown is unlikely to play Thursday night when the Celtics visit the Wizards. Boston listed Brown as doubtful for its game against last-place Washington with an illness. Brown has been the Celtics’ top-billed star this season with Jayson Tatum recovering from Achilles surgery, and he’s excelled in that role, averaging 29.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game while leading a leaner Boston roster to a 12-9 start. Ranked seventh in the NBA in points per game, Brown topped 40 in two of his last three outings, scoring 41 in a road loss to Minnesota on Saturday and…
