Celtics Fans Confident Championship is on the Horizon

 Celtics Fans Confident Championship is on the Horizon In the closing second of the first quarter, Boston Celtics' point guard Derrick White swiftly delivered the ball down the court to Jayson Tatum, a renowned NBA star, who emphatically dunked it through the hoop and held onto the rim.

Despite trailing by 13 points early in the game, the Celtics swiftly closed the gap, now only trailing by a single point, igniting the crowd at the Town MV in Edgartown, who ro

se to their feet in excitement.

Last night, the Celtics secured their third consecutive victory against the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals. Islanders and tourists alike gathered in bars and restaurants to witness the green-clad team edge closer to their historic 18th NBA championship.  “I don’t know how they could lose,” Everett Hazelton, catching the game at the Wharf Pub in Edgartown, told the Gazette. “They’ve just got to keep doing what they’re doing. There’s no weak point. It’s ridiculous. They’re unbelievable.”

At the Town, server Camilla Tamargo sported a Celtics jersey for the night’s festivities. Game night at the Town, she said, was usually pretty lively.

“We get a good bunch of people… it’s our year-round crowd with a few more peppered in,” she said. Stephan Sha and Dylan Maulucci, both working at the Edgartown Golf Club, were taking in the game at the Town with coworkers—a regular Wednesday night outing, they said.

  Mr. Sha, a lifelong Lakers fan from Beijing, said that as long as he was in New England he had the Celtics’ back. Mr. Maulucci, of Buffalo, New York, said he’d been a Celtics fan since boyhood—and swore the Celtics would have game three, just as long as team star Jayson Tatum could properly step up. 

At the Wharf, Bill Camarda said he was on the Island for just a few days, and had come out Wednesday night to take in the game. 

Mr. Camarda said he was a Celtics fan so long as the team didn’t “get in their own head and play down to the competition.”
