Just how far did Boston Celtics fans go to help their team win playoff games back in the day?

Rumor has it fire alarms were involved.

There have long been disputed legends about the lengths some people would go to ensure a win for the Boston Celtics. Some of the more colorful included accusations of shoddy guest locker rooms right up to the present day.

Others include rumors that arena workers on the night of a Celtics home game would mess with the heat or hot water of those locker rooms to ensure the visiting team had the roughest time possible before and after the game.

Watch the clip embedded below to hear his tale in full of just how far the Celtics were rumored to go in the hunt for another banner.
