Boston Celtics 2024 NBA championship celebration in photos

BOSTON — The Boston Celtics are NBA champions once again, with Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and company winning the franchise’s 18th title. Boston finished off the Dallas Mavericks with a near blowout win in Game 5 on Monday night, leading to quite the celebration at TD Garden.

With the victory in hand in the final minutes, Boston head coach Joe Mazzulla started to sub out his stars, and they all received huge ovations from the sell-out crowd at the Garden. Once the clock hit zero, the party really began for the Celtics and their fans.

Here’s a look at all those moments as captured by photographers inside the TD Garden.

Winning a championship means players get to put their fingerprints all over the Larry O’Brien trophy, and the Celtics lined up to do just that after Adam Silver presented them with the hardware.

After waiting 17 years, Al Horford is now an NBA champion — and he spent plenty of time with the trophy after Monday’s Game 5 victory.

Tatum and Deuce celebrated together

Tatum’s young son, Deuce, is at the TD Garden for pretty much every game, and you knew he’d be there to celebrate with his dad when he became an NBA champion. It led to some of the best pictures of the evening.

Derrick White didn’t let a broken tooth ruin the fun

White had his face smashed on the floor while going for a loose ball, leading to a bloody mouth and broken tooth for the Celtics guard. It was worth it for the guard, who said he’s lose all his teeth for a title.
