Celtics clinch first championship in 16 years



 







It cements Tatum and Brown's status as a legendary duo and could be the start of a new era of dominance for the team.

Stunning stat: With their 18th championship, the Celtics broke the tie with the Los Angeles Lakers for most titles in NBA history.


The Boston Celtics will soon raise a record 18th championship banner into the rafters of TD Garden.

The Cs' stifling defense and a combined 52 points from Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown led the team to a 106-88 win over the Dallas Mavericks to cap off the NBA Finals.
Why it matters: The win ends a 16-year drought for the Celtics, during which All-Star caliber players failed to bring the team all the way.
