Simone's Six: Decision-making, spacing, and the keys to victory in Celtics-Thunder
The Boston Celtics entered Wednesday night’s game with an 8-14 record against the other nine top-10 teams in the NBA this season (in terms of record). Yet they managed to walk out 9-14. Led by Jaylen Brown’s 31 points, Boston clawed and scratched its way to a win, snapping the Oklahoma City Thunder’s 12-game win streak. The fully-healthy Thunder, to be exact.
Giardi: Patriots could eye future at the offensive tackle spot in NFL Draft
Bottom line, right or wrong (or somewhere in between), the Pats believe Campbell will be better in year two, and the idea of using a high pick on that spot - when there are more pressing concerns in their mind - would be a waste of resources
Simone's Six: Defensive chess, offensive checkers, and a Jayson Tatum update in Celtics-Wolves
Everything looked good until it wasn’t. And then it was again. And then it wasn’t. Sunday night’s game between the Boston Celtics and Minnesota Timberwolves was a true back-and-forth affair, but the Wolves got the last laugh.
BSJ Game Report: Celtics 120, Suns 112 - Jaylen Brown was dominant
Derrick White turned the ball over on two straight possessions to open Monday night's game. It was as rocky a start as could be for the Boston Celtics, and the Phoenix Suns capitalized. They jumped out to an early 8-0 lead and left the Celtics playing catch-up. But that's exactly what they did.
Simone's Six: Payton Pritchard-palooza, a defensive examination, and rebounding in Celtics-Hawks

BSJ Game Report: Celtics 109, Hawks 102 - Pritchard halts streaking Atlanta
Once again, the Boston Celtics got hounded by ball pressure. The Atlanta Hawks brought it in waves the last time these two teams squared off, and they did the same to begin Friday night's game.
Giardi: Should the Patriots take another safety in this year's draft?
With Byard's age and perhaps a lack of a suitable long-term solution alongside Woodson, safety is a need. Would Vrabel and company want one on day one? Feels unlikely. After that, the door is open.

Haggerty: B's second line continues to bring bit of everything
The Bruins scored their third goal of Thursday night’s game in the closing minutes of the second period on a scramble by the second line with each of the three forwards crashing the net and attacking the puck. It was very unclear after the puck popped up in the air and bounced off a Winnipeg defender’s glove as to which player actually scored the goal. It was eventually credited to Viktor Arvidsson, but Arvidsson, Pavel Zacha and Casey Mittelstadt all stood there in comic bewilderment not sure as to which player should lead the fist bump honors as the goal scorer. “Yeah, it took a long time for us to figure it out…we still haven’t figured it out,” said a smiling Arvidsson. “It’s fine. It went in and that’s the most important thing.” The three forwards had a good laugh about it after the game while helping power the Bruins to a 6-1 thrashing of the Winnipeg Jets at TD Garden on Thursday night. The victory keeps the Bruins implanted in the No. 1 wild card playoff spot, but it is going to be a wild finish with three playoff spots essentially for four teams in Boston, Detroit, Columbus and the New York Islanders that have just a single point separating them in the Eastern Conference standings.
