The story of the Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics (/ˈsɛltɪks/SEL-tiks) are an American professional basketball team based in Boston. The Celtics compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference. Founded in 1946 as one of the league's original eight teams, the Celtics play their home games at TD Garden, a shared arena with the NHL's Boston Bruins. The Celtics are commonly regarded as the most successful team in NBA history. They hold the records for most NBA championships won, with 18, most recorded wins of any NBA franchise, and hold a winning record against every other team in the NBA.

The Celtics' rise to dominance began in the late 1950s, after the team, led by coach Red Auerbach, acquired Bill Russell in 1956, later becoming the cornerstone of the Celtics dynasty. Led by Russell, Bob Cousy, and Tom Heinsohn, the Celtics won their first NBA championship in 1957. Russell, along with a talented supporting cast of future Hall of Famers including Heinsohn, Don Nelson, K. C. Jones, John Havlicek, Sam Jones, Satch Sanders, and Bill Sharman, would usher the Celtics into the greatest period in franchise history, winning eight consecutive NBA championships from 1959 to 1966. After Russell became the team's player-coach, as well as the first African American head coach in any United States sport, they won back-to-back titles in 1968 and 1969. The Celtics entered a period of rebuilding after Russell retired in 1969.

In the mid-1970s, the Celtics became contenders once again, winning championships in 1974 and 1976 under the leadership of head coach Tom Heinsohn with Dave Cowens, Havlicek, and Jo Jo White. In the 1980s, the Celtics returned to dominance. Anchored by the "Big Three" of Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Robert Parish, the team experienced a renewed rivalry with the "Showtime" Lakers and won championships in 1981, 1984, and 1986, the latter two with head coach K. C. Jones. After the retirements of Bird and McHale, the departure of Parish, and the untimely deaths of 1986 draft pick Len Bias and star player Reggie Lewis, the Celtics struggled through the 1990s and much of the early 2000s.

Boston’s green-and-white identity is woven into NBA history. Bill Russell’s teams helped establish the franchise as a standard for collective defense and winning, while later generations created rivalries that shaped national basketball culture. The Celtics–Lakers matchup is a useful place to start exploring the league’s past.

Guide updated October 2, 2026: coaching context and TD Garden visitor details checked.

Joe Mazzulla and Boston’s recent coaching record

Joe Mazzulla remains Boston’s head coach. He won the 2025–26 NBA Coach of the Year award after a 56–26 regular season and the Eastern Conference’s second seed. Boston recovered from a 5–7 start to go 51–19 the rest of the way. It was Mazzulla’s first win of the award and the franchise’s first since Bill Fitch in 1979–80.

Those are completed-season results, not a forecast for the next Celtics lineup. For an individual career view alongside the team record, explore Jayson Tatum’s player profile.

What can you bring to TD Garden?

TD Garden’s standard bag allowance is small: 6 × 4 × 1.5 inches at most, including clear bags. Clutches, wristlets and crossbody bags still have to meet that size limit. Diaper bags, breast-pump bags and medically necessary bags have exceptions, with visual inspection and X-ray screening at entry.

The venue offers an Event Bag Check for oversized bags beside the box office on Level 1, on the east side of North Station. The listed fee is $15. Its usual hours run from two hours before an event until one hour afterward, but hours can vary. Packing to the entry limit avoids relying on that service.

Parking and planning your Celtics visit

The North Station Garage sits directly beneath TD Garden. Check the specific game’s instructions and your ticket before choosing arrival time or an entrance; event arrangements can change. The official ticket directory provides the route to the team’s ticket pages.

Use the Celtics season schedule to separate home dates from road games, and the roster section to reach player profiles. A scheduled game is not a confirmed lineup: review availability information closer to tipoff.
