BOSTON (WHDH) - Fans came out in full force downtown Wednesday afternoon to celebrate ahead of the first NBA Finals game in Boston in 12 years.

Green-sprinkled Dunkin’ donuts were abundant outside City Hall Plaza for a pep rally to celebrate the C’s ahead of Game 3. Fans felt confident about their team’s chance of a win.

“It’s gonna be electric tonight,” said Celtics legend Cedric Maxwell. “This is the first Finals (fans) have had in a minute here in Boston, so I think people are really hyped.”

A planned Celtics watch party put on by the City of Boston has been canceled due to inclement weather.
