Celtics Extend Coach Doc Rivers' Contract

BOSTON (AP) ― The Boston Celtics have extended the contract of coach Doc Rivers, who led the team to its first championship in 22 years.

Rivers guided the Celtics to a 66-16 regular season record and the franchise's 17th title last season. It was the biggest single-season turnaround in league history, following Boston's 24 wins the year before.

Celtics general manager Danny Ainge says Rivers is the man to lead the team "now and in the future." Rivers has a 168-160 record in four seasons as Celtics coach.

The team did not disclose terms of the deal.
