Two games that were supposed to take place tonight (Wednesday-Thursday) were postponed, but the NBA celebration did not stop completely, and five of these were played in the best league in the world.
Joe Johnson was thrilled when he signed in Boston 20 years after the latter selected him in the draft, and when the team secured tonight's win against Cleveland, the crowd shouted his name.
The 40-year-old Johnson, who had only joined a few hours earlier, went up to the floor at the Garden, scoring 2 exciting points from half distance.

Jaylen Brown, who scored 34 points, was the standout in the Celtics ’ranks, and Robert Williams added a career-high of 21 points and 11 rebounds en route to 101: 111.
Jason Taitum added 18 of his own.
For the loser, Darius Carlans (28 points) and Kevin Love (18) stood out, but they and the Cubs, who were missing eight players because of the Corona, were stopped after six straight wins.
Yannis Antocompo is still injured, but Milwaukee did not have a hard time even without him against the weak Houston - and came back to win after two losses with a wonderful 106: 126.
Jero Holiday was hot with 24 points and 10 assists, Chris Middleton sniped 23 points, and Demarcus Cousins added 18 points and eight rebounds.
