BOSTON — With the Celtics on the brink of a championship, the thousands of fans who packed into TD Garden on Monday night to watch Game 5 of the NBA Finals included a host of Boston celebrities, including Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye and many of the city's sports stars.
Maye was also in attendance for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals, when Jaylen Brown's game-saving 3-pointer and Jayson Tatum's overtime win led the Celtics to a win over the Pacers in overtime. The quarterback also attended the Bruins' playoff game earlier this summer.
May wasn't the only Patriots player in attendance; linebacker Ja'Waan Bentley was also there to wish the Celtics a victory, while Bruins captain Brad Marchand, defenseman Matt Grzelik and head coach Jim Montgomery were also in attendance.
According to the NBA, some of the local celebrities who gathered at TD Garden included:
Jack Harlow
Donnie Wahlberg
Joey McIntyre
Maria Menounos
Mercedes Monet
Michael Bivins
Camille Kostek
Millies
Michael Rubin
The Celtics are seeking their 18th championship in franchise history and have a long list of former Celtics players on the roster, including Eddie House and Leon Poe, both of whom played on the Celtics' championship team in 2008. Here's the full list, according to the NBA:

Mal Graham
Kevin Stacomb

Grant Williams is an interesting guest considering he was traded from both the Celtics and Mavericks last year, while Terry also played for both teams, winning a title with Dallas in 2011.
