LeBron James made the go-ahead jumper with 10.5 seconds left to lead Miami to its 23rd consecutive victory, 105-103 over the Boston Celtics on Monday night. Five years to the day after the Celtics snapped Houston's winning streak at 22 games, James scored 37 points and made the go-ahead basket with 10.5 seconds left in Miami's 105-103 victory on Monday night.

The Celtics collected their biggest win of the season today, but because of events earlier in the afternoon, the victory was rather empty.

Carmelo Anthony was suspended for his actions after the Knicks’ loss to the Celtics Monday when he went toward the locker room and later waited for Kevin Garnett outside Boston’s team bus.

Stephen Curry had 22 points and nine assists, David Lee scored 20 points and the Golden State Warriors whipped the short-handed Boston Celtics 101-83 on Saturday night to close a memorable month.

Rajon Rondo has been suspended for two games for his involvement in Wednesday's brawl, Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said on WEEI sports radio in Boston.

No one can accuse Doc Rivers of being anything other than a pragmatist. It makes no sense for the coach of the Boston Celtics to worry himself with the Los Angeles Lakers and what goes on in the Western Conference when Rivers and his crew have to contend with the reigning NBA champion Miami Heat in their own conference.

The Miami Heat's win over the Boston Celtics to reach the NBA finals has drawn the highest preliminary television rating for an NBA playoff game on cable since records started being kept in 2003.

The Celtics' big lead gone and leading scorer along with it, Rajon Rondo had a message for Kevin Garnett. "It's time," Rondo said. "We have to take the game over." And when that still left the Miami Heat with a final chance, the Celtics turned to an old Garden ghost as Dwyane Wade launched a 3-pointer that would have won it.
