PHOENIX – The Boston Celtics will do something tonight that they haven’t done in 27 years.
That is, they’ll take the court for a regular-season game on the West Coast on March 26 or later.
That’s right, the C’s haven’t played a game on the West Coast this late in the regular season since their 1988-89 campaign, when they played three West Coast games from April 4-7.
Every year since that season, the schedule makers have sent Boston out west either in mid-late February (most often) or in early March (quite rarely). Over the past decade-plus, the C’s have grown accustomed to being on the West Coast immediately following the All-Star break.
