The Boston Celtics’ season came to screeching halt Sunday night when the Cleveland Cavaliers came into TD Garden and grabbed an 87-79 win in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals. It was an unbelievable ride for a young Celtics team without its two best players in Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward. While the C’s didn’t have enough in the tank to overtake LeBron James on a stage that he has owned for most of his career, the future is unquestionably bright for Boston. That being said, the day after a season-ending loss is all about what could have been, and a number of Celtics voiced their thoughts Monday on what was an ugly

Red Sox Notes: Mookie Betts Shines In Boston’s 7-4 Loss To Orioles
Even in a loss, Mookie Betts still finds a way to produce. The Boston Red Sox right fielder went 3-for-5 with two RBIs and a run thanks to his 14th blast of the season in the 7-4 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night at Fenway Park. “I’m not trying to be a power hitter,” Betts said after the game, as seen on NESN’s postgame coverage. “I work hard every day … but being consistent is the main thing.” Well, the power is most certainly there for the 25-year-old.

Red Sox Wrap: Bats Silenced In 3-0 Loss As Athletics’ Sean Manaea No-Hits Boston
The Oakland Athletics did what no team has done to the Red Sox in 25 years. A’s starter Sean Manaea threw the first no-hitter of the 2018 MLB season against the leagues’ best offense when they beat the Boston Red Sox, 3-0 Saturday night. He gave up two walks and the A’s did commit an error, but it’s the zero in the hit column that highlights the game. This was Oakland’s first no-hitter since Dallas Braden threw a perfect game on Mother’s Day in 2010. Chris Sale gave up three runs and struck out 10 batters, but Manaea was locked in from the get-go, only needing 108 pitches to secure the no-hitter for Oakland.
