Author: Marc D'Amico March 7, 2026 Duration: 14:51
After nearly 10 months of rehab, Jayson Tatum made his return Friday night for the Boston Celtics – and he looked like himself for some major stretches while piling up a monster double-double. He and Jaylen Brown fueled the Celtics to a dominant win over the visiting Dallas Mavericks, who watched rookie and Maine native Cooper Flagg return to New England for the very first time as an NBA player. On the unfortunate end of things, Nikola Vucevic suffered a fractured right ring finger, and he will now be out for the foreseeable future. Let’s discuss the impact of it all!

For those nights when the final buzzer isn't the end of the conversation, there's SOUND OFF with the Boston Celtics. Hosted by longtime Celtics Insider Marc D'Amico, this is the immediate, unfiltered reaction space following every game.

Marc breaks down the key plays, the pivotal decisions, and the subtle moments that decided the outcome, offering a clear-eyed assessment of the team's performance without the usual hot-take noise.
