Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said she and Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll will be among those cheering on the Celtics.
“It’s awesome for the city, awesome for the state, and as a couple former basketball players who grew up watching the Celtics in the 80s, we’re pumped,” Healey said. “It’ll be a great celebration, not just for the city and Massachusetts, but really for the whole region. Kudos to the Celtics team, because they are a team on and off the court. I can see just in the last 18 months since we’ve been on this job how committed they are to doing things in our community and being just great role models.
