The Boston Celtics’ season hasn’t gotten off to the start many envisioned them having before the campaign started. It’s obvious Brad Stevens, Marcus Smart and others are frustrated with the team’s 10-10 record, but the face of Boston’s brain trust isn’t panicking just yet. President of basketball operations Danny Ainge has been around long enough to know how the C’s are playing now isn’t permanent. There’s still plenty of time for Boston to turn its season around and live up to the wildly high expectations many had going into the 2018-19 campaign. “I’ve been through this many, many years, and I’m not impatient,” Ainge said, v...

Celtics’ Semi Ojeleye Rises To Occasion In First Start Of Season
BOSTON — The Boston Celtics were down a starter Thursday night, and an unlikely source stepped in to fill the void. With Jaylen Brown (foot soreness) sidelined for the Celtics’ matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks, conventional knowledge would lead you to believe either Marcus Smart, Terry Rozier or maybe even Marcus Morris would take Brown’s spot in the starting five. But it was Semi Ojeleye who wound up getting the nod, and the second-year forward’s efforts helped lift the C’s to a 117-113 win at TD Garden.

Red Sox Vs. Astros Lineup: Brock Holt, Steve Pearce Start In Game 1
The Boston Red Sox and Houston Astros will do battle in Game 1 of the American League Champion Series on Saturday night at Fenway Park.

Boston will give the ball to Chris Sale, who made a surprise appearance out of the bullpen in the clinching Game 4 against the Bronx Bombers.

18 corners, one winner: gentlemen, start your engines!
Team Suzuki Ecstar, meanwhile, want to get back near the front after a spate of podiums earlier in the season – and Silverstone was the scene of their first win since 2007 when they were on top in 2016. That may have been with a different rider, but Alex Rins is a former winner at the venue too, in Moto3™. Scott Redding (Aprilia Racing Team Gresini) is another former winner and one with a stunning record on home soil, and he’ll want to try and get in the fight with fellow Brit Bradley Smith (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing). KTM, after a run of bad luck, are also looking for a bit more in the UK. Will Pol Espargaro be
