BOSTON — The Celtics’ season has come to an abrupt and unexpected end.

Playing without Jayson Tatum, who was ruled out two hours before tipoff with left knee stiffness, the C’s lost 109-100 to the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 7 of their first-round playoff series at TD Garden on Saturday night.

Boston trailed by as many as 18 points and was down 12 entering the fourth quarter before mounting a furious comeback to cut the deficit to one. But the C’s missed 10 consecutive shots within the final five minutes, allowing Philly to pull away for the victory.

A man died and a suspect is in custody in an incident that resulted in a police investigation in Milford, Massachusetts, on Friday, prosecutors said Saturday.

Earlier, officials had only confirmed that a person was taken into the hospital. But late Saturday, the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office said Michael Albro, a 54-year-old from Medway, had died in the incident.

They didn’t share more information, including information on the person in custody, saying that would be available at the suspect’s arraignment on Monday. Officials have previously said the suspect was male, but didn’t give his age.

Two people were found dead outside their summer home in Tuftonboro, New Hampshire, Saturday morning in what’s being investigated as a possible murder-suicide, officials said.

There does not appear to be a threat to the public, the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office said in a statement announcing the deaths.

Few details were immediately available, including the identities of the two adults or what specific relationship they had. Prosecutors didn’t say what led to the suspicion the deaths could be a murder-suicide.

After raining through the night, it’s now petering out for Cape Code and the Islands. As the storm spins away, it could sling a drop or two our way. Otherwise, the clouds stay the day.

Temperatures will close in on 60 degrees. With the storm moving away, it’s spinning up our winds. By the afternoon, gusts with will reach 30-40 mph. Those winds lock in for the next few days.

By Monday, winds turn around out of the southwest, pumping up warmer air.

BOSTON — On Friday afternoon, about 27 hours before the Celtics’ must-win Game 7 against the Philadelphia 76ers at TD Garden, the team posted a clean health update with “no injuries to report” for Saturday’s showdown.

At around 1:30 p.m. ET on Saturday afternoon, however, Jayson Tatum popped up on the injury report with “left knee stiffness.” Then at 5:40 p.m. ET, the Celtics delivered the surprising news: Tatum had been ruled out for Game 7 of their first-round playoff series.

So, what happened? How did Tatum go from off the injury report to sitting out the biggest game of season in a span of just over 24 hours? Here’s what to know about the Celtics star’s injury.

Two brothers and a dog were rescued from a sailboat that had run aground off Essex, Massachusetts, Friday night, officials said.

The rescue was captured on dramatic body camera video — the 28- and 30-year-old men and their small dog can be seen wading in what Essex police said was frigid water near the mouth of the river in the Atlantic. Their 30-foot boat, Jenny Lee, was listing and taking on water after sending out its emergency beacon that the U.S. Coast Guard flagged for first responders about 8:12 p.m.

Once the brothers were found and brought to shore via a rescue skiff, one had to be carried through sand dunes on an officer’s shoulders. And while both were taken to the hospital for hypothermia treatment, police said, they were in stable condition as of that night, while the dog was in good condition. All are expected to be OK.
