The Boston Celtics have been the most dominant team in the NBA this season, but there is one issue they just can’t seem to shake as far as the playoffs are concerned: winning at home. Not winning on the road; winning at home. The Celtics are just 15-15 at TD Garden over their last 30 […]

The NBA is often seen as a place where extracurricular activities on the court don’t happen nearly as often as they did in the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s.
