Floor Level Photos: The Celtics Perfect 2024 Home Opener

Author Geno
The Boston Celtics 2024 Championship banner is raised before the game against the New York Knicks at TD Garden on October 22, 2024 in Boston, Massachusetts.

Banner #18 was raised to the rafters. Records were set. It was pretty much the perfect opening night for the 2024-2025 season for your Boston Celtics. Championship rings were handed out and the Celtics got off to a great start for the new season.

The World Champs picked up right where they left off last season with a 132-109 win over the New York Knicks at TD Garden. After the Celtics’ championship banner was raised, Jayson Tatum and the Celts got down to business. Tatum hit 11 3 point shots, helping the team tie a NBA record total of 29 3 pointers.

Tony Massarotti from our sister station 98.5 The Sports Hub summed it up with a dose of medicine: “After beginning their preseason by hoisting a whopping 61 3-pointers less than three weeks ago, the Celtics went out last night and matched that number in a real game during a 132-109 lambasting of the Knicks that was hardly that close. In the process, the Celtics tied an NBA record by making 29 3-pointers. And while the final boxscore will show that the Celtics shot 47.5 percent from 3-point distance, do not be deceived: the actual number was more like 60 percent because the Celtics missed their final 13 attempts, most of them by bench players trying to set a new NBA records in the final, meaningless minutes.”
