Boston Celtics All-Star Jaylen Brown expressed his desire for the NBA All-Star Game to return to TD Garden, marking the city’s first hosting opportunity in 61 years. Since the last game in 1964, the event has been held in 30 different markets, with other Eastern Conference teams hosting at least once. The revamped four-team tournament in the latest All-Star Game received mixed reviews, especially due to a lengthy halftime ceremony honoring the “Inside the NBA” panel. Players, including Brown and teammate Jayson Tatum, felt the break disrupted the game’s flow. Tatum led his team to victory, scoring 15 points and hitting the game-winning dunk. The Celtics will resume regular-season play against the Philadelphia 76ers after the All-Star break, facing tough opponents like the Cavaliers and the Lakers in the coming weeks. The team, with a 39-16 record, aims to maintain their strong performance as they near the end of the season.
