YOUR OPPONENT HAS LEFT THE GAME — The Boston Celtics' social media team has garnered attention this season for its creative takes on highlights videos, but took the imagination to another level Thursday with full 2K video game overlays and animations over clips from Game 1 against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The post on X was simply captioned, "collecting badges 🎮," and featured plays from Derrick White and Jaylen Brown with the token 2K quick play call overlay and shooting animations.

The White play shows the signature "green light" on his 3-point shot meter and gives him flames around his feet after the shot, while the Brown highlight flashes a 2K player badge for dunking as he throws the ball down over Cleveland forward Isaac Okoro.
The Celtics are up 1-0 over the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals and play Game 2 Thursday night on ESPN.
