TD Garden a special place for Thunder coach and Leominster native Mark Daigneault to visit

Thunder coach Mark Daigneault cherishes the memories of attending games with his family at TD Garden while growing up in Leominster. He would often go with his grandmother and parents.

“Those are formative experiences when you’re with the people you love, especially when you look back on it,” Daigneault said Wednesday before his team played the Celtics. “So the memories here are more personal memories than they are, like, Paul Pierce making a shot, [although] I’ve seen plenty of that, too.”

Daigneault was asked where his friends’ and family’s allegiances lie now that he’s coaching Oklahoma City.
