0:00It's March 31st. Boston Celtics News today starts now, AI powered and ready for kickoff. The Boston Celtics just locked in their spot for the 2026 playoffs, and it's their 12th straight appearance, the longest street going, in the NBA right now. This comes just two years after they grab their 18th championship by beating the Dallas Mavericks in the 2024 finals. With seven regular season games left, they're already postseason bound.

Right now, the Celtics sit at 50 wins and 25 losses, just four games behind the Detroit pistons for the top seed in the east.

No matter the seed they land, Boston looks primed to run deep again, proving they're still that powerhouse squad ready to chase another ring. Another ring.
