Celtics beat Mavericks for record 18th NBA championship
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown finally climbed the mountain, leading the Celtics to an NBA record 18th title, breaking a tie with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The celebration of the Boston Celtics’ NBA championship will continue this week as thousands of Boston sports fans ― who are no strangers to the iconic rolling rallies and duck boat parades that celebrated multiple championship titles in the past two decades ― flock to the city once again.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that the rolling rally parade will be on Friday, June 21 starting at 11 a.m.
According to media reports, the parade is set for Friday, June 21, but that has not yet been formally confirmed by the team.
The parade will celebrate the Celtics’ blowout 106-88 victory over the Dallas Mavericks., to win the NBA title in five games. The win marks the team’s 18th title, breaking a tie with the Los Angeles Lakers and setting a new record.
Here’s what to know and the celebrations.

What does the weather forecast look like for Friday?
The highs will be in the low 80s in Boston with a possibility of thunderstorms, according to the forecast from our media partner WCVB/StormCenter 5.
Part of the reason it’s rumored that Friday is the date is because the temperatures will be marginally cooler than than the scorchers predicted for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday as a heat wave is set to settle over the region.
What will the parade route be?
The parade is set to being at the front of TD Garden on Causeway Street, then roll by City Hall Plaza and Boston Common on Tremont Street before ending by the Hynes Convention Center on Boylston Street.
More details will be shared at a 1:30 p.m. press conference.
