BSJ Game Report: Celtics 119, Thunder 109 - Jaylen Brown leads impressive victory

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.
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.
Celtics Practice Notebook: A WWE appearance, Jayson Tatum thoughts, and accepting the noise
The Boston Celtics don’t have much time to practice once the season gets underway, but Tuesday afternoon provided one of those rare opportunities. These were some of the main stories to come out of the Auerbach Center.

BSJ Game Report: Celtics 109, Hawks 102 - Pritchard halts streaking Atlanta

Haggerty: Bruins showing they've got right playoff stuff
It really shouldn’t come as a major surprise at this point, but the Boston Bruins continue to clearly demonstrate they have “the stuff” to be a playoff team this spring. It remains to be seen how it’s going to play out for them and Tuesday night’s home loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs was as unimpressive as it gets for the Black and Gold, but it was more than offset by the B’s shaking off some third period troubles to knock off the Sabres in overtime in a 4-3 comeback road victory at the KeyBank Center on Wednesday night. The win allowed the B’s to open up a three-point cushion on the top wild card playoff spot and pulled them into a tie with the Montreal Canadiens for the third playoff spot in the Atlantic Division, though the Habs hold two games in hand on the Black and Gold entering Thursday.
Simone's Six: Payton Pritchard-palooza, a defensive examination, and rebounding in Celtics-Hawks
The Boston Celtics were met with a significant challenge on Friday night. They were buried in buckets by the Atlanta Hawks and quickly faced a 25-9 deficit. Then, Payton Pritchard turned the game on its head.
Hurley: What's really at stake in an A.J. Brown trade?
I wanted to provide one bit of perspective when it comes to the actual cost of acquiring A.J. Brown for the Patriots. The words "first-round pick" can mean a whole lot of things, so I thought it best to zero in on the exact area in the first round that the Patriots own their pick this year to try to provide some detail on the caliber of player that gets taken that late in the first. That way, perhaps we'll all be able to determine how we feel about coughing up a first-round pick, if that is indeed the high end of the asking price for Brown.
