The Celtics used some of that winning energy and beat the Bucks 117-113.

-- There were only six people arrested during the Red Sox World Series parade in Boston on Wednesday but one of them was a teenager carrying a loaded gun.

The 17-year-old, from Somerville, was searched by Boston Police after someone else at the parade approached a police officer on Tremont Street around 1 p.m. saying they had seen what looked like the handle of a gun in a man’s waistband.

Police found the gun, three bags of marijuana, assorted loose pills, and cash on the man.

He was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition and possession of a large capacity feeding device. 

His bail was set at $50,000 and he faces home confinement with GPS monitoring if he makes bail.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: “So I'll use the platform the right way. Like I said before, and I know the headlines don't show it, I said I respect the president of the United States and I know he helped our country. So whenever we have to make that decision we'll make it and it's going to be respected." -- Alex Cora, to OMF, on whether or not he will go to the White House
