Not only did the Boston Celtics get embarrassed by the Dallas Mavericks in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, some of their fans decided to attack each other at a watch party.
Countless fans went to TD Garden on Friday night hoping to watch the Celtics capture their 18th championship. Obviously, things didn’t go according to plan.
The Mavericks thoroughly outplayed the Celtics by 38 points thanks to great performances from Luke Doncic, Kyrie Irving and Dereck Lively II. We’re guessing that didn’t sit well with the fans in Boston.
A video of two fans fighting at TD Garden surfaced on X, formerly known as Twitter. One of the fans in this video wouldn’t stop throwing punches at the other despite clearly winning the fight.
Here’s the fight that broke out at TD Garden:

It’s unclear if legal action will be taken here.
As for the Celtics, they sound ready to shake off this loss and close out the series at home in Game 5.
“Preparation doesn’t guarantee an automatic success,” Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said. “I thought we had a great process. I thought we had a great shootaround. Thought we had a great film session yesterday. I thought the guys came out with the right intentions. I just didn’t think it went our way, and I thought Dallas outplayed us. They just played harder.”
Game 5 is set for Monday at 8:30 p.m. ET.
