It is also the anniversary of an overtime win over the Philadelphia 76ers in 2018 punctuated with an erroneous release of celebratory confetti at the end of regulation.
A late bucket from big man Al Horford would seal the 101-98 win in the extra period.
Rookie forward Jayson Tatum lead the team with 24 points and 5 rebounds, guard Terry Rozier added 18 points and 7 boards, and wing Jaylen Brown chipped in 16 points and 9 rebounds off the bench.
“These are the kind of moments you want to be in as a basketball player,” said Horford via the Associated Press.
