PHILADELPHIA — With their season on the brink, Joe Mazzulla decided to change things up for the Celtics.As the Celtics faced elimination on Thursday night, the Celtics went to a starting lineup that’s given them great success in the past. Robert Williams started over Derrick White for their do-or-die Game 6 against the 76ers, giving the Celtics the double-big lineup with Williams and Al Horford that they haven’t used much in the postseason.“Just give us a different look,” Mazzulla explained. “I think at his best, Rob gives us a lift, especially on the defensive end. So, looking for that.”The Celtics used a starting five that included Williams and Horford in their run to the NBA Finals last season. But Williams missed the first 29 games of the season after having knee surgery, and White assumed his role in the starting lineup and excelled in it, giving the C’s a five-out look with all shooters on the floor.Williams had been playing a reduced role in this series against the Sixers, lo...

The state budget should not be treated as a game meant to settle political scores,” the state Auditor said in a Thursday statement. “This move further demonstrates the incredible lack of integrity and equity in their legislative process.”According to DiZoglio’s office, the state Senate’s recently released about $55 billion budget proposal that includes large increases to the budgets of other important statewide offices, but does not make the same changes to the auditor’s budget.As written, from fiscal 2023 to fiscal 2024, the Attorney General’s Office will see a 10% funding increase, going ...
