BOSTON — The Boston Celtics have raised Banner 18 to the rafters. The NBA's most-decorated franchise celebrated its latest championship on Tuesday night in a ceremony before opening night against the New York Knicks. The players and staff also received their championship rings. Former Celtics such as Bob Cousy and Paul Pierce were also on hand. The Celtics beat the Dallas Mavericks in five games last spring to claim their 18th NBA title. That's the most of any franchise in the league.
