When a player explodes for 37 points, including nine in the final 30 seconds, you wouldn’t expect to hear postgame praise for his primary defender. The Celtics, though, were encouraged by the job Jordan Walsh did against Clippers star James Harden in Sunday’s 121-118 win at TD Garden. Joe Mazzulla, Jaylen Brown and Derrick White all used the word “great” to describe Walsh’s performance in the third-year pro’s second start of the season. “His defense (over) the last however many games has been great,” White said. “Obviously, a lot of different types of matchups, and tonight’s a challenging one. Like,…

The Boston Celtics have struggled in crunch time this season, but that wasn’t the case on Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers. After comfortably leading by double digits for most of the game, the well-rested Celtics suddenly found themselves in a nailbiter late in the fourth quarter. A torrid second half by James Harden turned a potential blowout into a one-possession game for several tense minutes, which has been Boston’s Achilles heel over the last few weeks. Coming into Sunday’s game, the Celtics were 2-5 with a minus-37.2 net rating in clutch games this season, which the NBA defines as…

Sunday was Kids Day at TD Garden, and the Boston Celtics rewarded their fans with an exciting 121-118 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. During Joe Mazzulla’s postgame press conference, the final question he received came from SI Kids reporter Rusty Smith, and it was a good one. “It’s Kids Day here at the Garden — how do you balance pushing players to improve while also keeping the game fun for them?” Smith asked. Mazzulla didn’t hesitate before giving a thoughtful, honest and insightful answer. “It’s Kid’s Day at the Garden… How do you balance pushing players to improve while…

The Celtics have blown fourth-quarter leads in four of their seven losses this season. James Harden tried his best to add to that list on Sunday. Harden scored 18 of his 37 points in the final five minutes — including nine in the last 22 seconds of regulation — as the visiting Clippers cut a 24-point Boston lead to one. But the former NBA MVP’s would-be game-tying 3-pointer clanged off the rim as time expired, allowing the Celtics to escape with a 121-118 win at TD Garden. Jaylen Brown paced the 7-7 Celtics with 33 points, 13 rebounds, three assists,…
The Bruins scored what was one of their best wins of the season on Saturday night in Montreal. And what was their reward for that? A short day off on Sunday before getting back on the horse for a home game against a tough Carolina team on Monday before heading out west on a four-game road trip against all the California teams – not a pushover in the bunch – before finishing up on Long Island. Such is life in this season of a condensed schedule. But with 20 games now under the B’s belts, here are a few leftover…
The Boston Red Sox have several big items on their to-do list this winter, including adding a frontline starting pitcher and a middle-of-the-order bat. The Red Sox could still use a marquee slugger after trading Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants in June, leaving a considerable hole in the middle of their lineup. They went from ninth in home runs before the trade to 23rd in homers without him. Before Devers debuted in 2017, David Ortiz filled that role from 2003 to 2016. He filled it so well, in fact, that he now has a plaque hanging in Cooperstown.…
