CHARLOTTE, N.C.—After the Boston Celtics beat the Charlotte Hornets 118–104 on Monday night, the focus of the NBA’s best team quickly turned to something else. They watched Caitlin Clark and the final minutes of Iowa’s victory over Louisiana State in the Elite Eight of the women’s NCAA Tournament.
With the volume on the television cranked up, 10 Celtics players sat in a row at their lockers icing their feet, and intently watching the finish of Clark’s performance that featured nine 3-pointers and 41 points as Iowa reached the Final Four with a 94–87 win in Albany, N.Y.
