The Boston Celtics find themselves in an 0-2 hole after losing 111-105 to the Miami Heat in Game 2 at TD Garden Friday night.

After falling out of the rotation inexplicably, Grant Williams had a solid performance and made the decision to not play him even more of a head-scra...

In a massive change before the Celtics took on the 76ers in a win-or-go-home Game 6, Boston pulled off a big change in their lineup by bringing back Robert Williams into the starting 5.

With their backs against the wall, Joe Mazzulla made a gutsy call that paid d...

During the Celtics 128-120 series-clinching win over the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday night, there was one massive bright spot late in the game that swung momentum towards Boston: Grant Williams. Once a staple piece of the Celtics rotation, Williams had for some reason fallen out of favor and not gotten as much run as last season, especially in games that warranted it. In Game 5 as the Celtics were trying to stay in it, Joe Mazzulla turned to veteran Blake Griffin over Grant, which is puzzling. How...
