Boston Sports Morning Report — Saturday, Nov. 7

Not for nuthin'…. But….. The Celts went into Charlotte last night and put on a show: 119-80 in NBA Cup group play, Jayson Tatum with 34 points, eight boards and nine dimes in just 29 minutes. Boston is 7-2 and sitting second in the East. Quiet Saturday otherwise — then Sunday's a three-sport day in New England.

Short version: no games today, Pats host Green Bay at 4:25, B's host Florida at 1:00, Celts are in Milwaukee at 8:00, and the Sox are still in hot-stove mode.

New England Patriots

  • Yesterday: No game (last game: W 24-19 @ Miami on Sun., Nov. 1)
  • Today: No game — Rob Gronkowski's Patriots Hall of Fame weekend
  • Next: Sun., Nov. 8, 4:25 PM ET, vs Green Bay Packers (home, FOX)
  • Standings: 5-3, 2nd in the AFC East, 1.5 games behind Buffalo (6-1), No. 7 in the AFC (last wild-card spot)
  • Schedule note: After Green Bay it's Sun., Nov. 15 at Detroit (Munich game, 9:30 AM ET kickoff); bye is Week 11

Big weekend in Foxborough. Gronk goes into the team Hall of Fame, and he'll be honored at halftime Sunday while Tom Brady is in the FOX booth. Packers come in at 5-3 as well — should be a good one.

Boston Celtics

  • Yesterday: W 119-80 @ Charlotte Hornets (NBA Cup group play)
  • Today: No game
  • Next: Sun., Nov. 8, 8:00 PM ET, @ Milwaukee Bucks
  • Standings: 7-2, 2nd in the Atlantic, 0.5 games behind Philadelphia (8-2), No. 2 in the East

Tatum nearly had a triple-double, Derrick White added 18, and Boston buried 24 threes (17 in the first half). Still perfect at home (5-0), road mark now 2-2, and 2-0 in Cup play. Rematch with Milwaukee on Sunday night.

Boston Bruins

  • Yesterday: No game (last game: W 6-2 @ Pittsburgh Penguins on Thu., Nov. 5)
  • Today: No game
  • Next: Sun., Nov. 8, 1:00 PM ET, vs Florida Panthers (home, NESN / NHL Network)
  • Standings: 12-4-1, 25 points, 1st in the Atlantic (2 points up on Montreal), No. 2 in the East, 3 points behind Carolina (13-3-2, 28 points)

Three in a row after the Pittsburgh statement win. Florida comes to Causeway Street Sunday afternoon — early puck drop, then switch over to the Pats.

Boston Red Sox

  • Yesterday / Today: No games, offseason
  • Next: 2027 Opening Day is Thu., March 25, @ Seattle Mariners; home opener Thu., April 1, vs Cincinnati
  • Final standings: 87-75, 3rd in the AL East, lost the AL Wild Card round to the Yankees

Hot-stove season on Jersey Street. Pitchers and catchers can't come soon enough.

That's the Saturday board. Quiet day, then a stacked Sunday — B's at 1:00, Pats at 4:25, Celts at 8:00. See you tomorrow.

MOAM Out.
