The Boston Celtics NBA recognized the victims of this week’s mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, before their home opener.
Boston players wore the legwarmers of their NBA G League affiliate, the Maine Celtics. The Celtics also put a band on their jerseys to honor the state as it recovers after a shooter killed 18 people and wounded 13 at a bowling alley and a bar there.
The band on the jersey simply read “Maine” and was placed above the Vistaprint-sponsored logo patch.
Fans also observed a moment of silence before the game as a green and white image of the state outline was displayed on the jumbotron.
Triumph with special dedication
The Celtics won at TD Garden 119-111 against the Miami Heat on a great night from Derrick White, adding 28 points, 3 assists and 6 rebounds.
