Naulls was, with Bill Russell, K.C. Jones, Sam Jones, and Tom Sanders, part of the first all-Black lineup in the history of North American pro sports in 1964, and a key part of three of Boston's titles in their golden age of dominance in the mid-1960s. He averaged 10.3 points and 4.6 rebounds per game with the Celtics -- rest in peace.

The Brooklyn Nets beat the Boston Celtics 113-105 on Friday night for their first victory in the NBA Cup in-season tournament.

After rallying from 18 down to make it a 2-point game with just over five minutes left, the hosts could not stop Porter as Brooklyn won for just the third time this season.

During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Green wore only jersey No. 43 and put up 3.7 points and 2.0 rebounds per game.

BOSTON — Joe Mazzulla’s definition of fun became a talking point this past weekend when Rusty Smith, a young reporter with Sports Illustrated Kids, asked the Boston Celtics coach how he balances pushing players to improve while keeping the game fun for them.

Joe Mazzulla needs to find that energy every game now for the Celtics to have a chance against tough opponents. On Friday, he waited too long, keeping Hugo Gonzalez on the bench until the fourth quarter and keeping Jordan Walsh on the sidelines during the Nets’ 19-4 run. Those were the only two guys Brown praised after the loss.

The University of Iowa alum recently opened up about that harrowing experience on a recent episode of "View from the Rafters".

Bridges, who spent Summer League and training camp with the Celtics, secured the game-winning defensive stop with his third block of the game (and second in the final minute). And the Maine Celtics, who began the season 0-3, have since won three consecutive games at the Portland Expo to improve to 3-3 on the season.
