While the Celtics cruised to the 2024 NBA title — also known as Banner No. 18 — the road back to the NBA Finals looks different. The C’s went 16-3 in the playoffs last year, never losing more than one game in each series. But the league boasts a few other title contenders that could give the Celtics trouble in the coming weeks.

The Boston Celtics have a chance to do something special this summer, but the Orlando Magic could give them a strong test in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.

The incident happened around 9:20 a.m. Thursday as organizers and volunteers were working along the race course ahead of Monday's marathon.

The dog was alive when police got it under control and placed it in the rear of a cruiser until city animal control personnel could take custody, according to police transmissions.

A "vicious dog" evaded police officers near the Boston Marathon​ finish line on Thursday, prompting an officer to fire their gun.
