Floor Level Photos: The Celtics Perfect 2024 Home Opener

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."
