They were honoring the late Red Auerbach who was the great Boston Celtic coach and GM during their dynasty years of the late 50's to early 70's.

This replaced right into a tribute to red Auerbach. He replaced into the instructor of the Boston Celtics (NBA basketball crew). The mythical red Auerbach died very last 365 days. additionally they placed on that eco-friendly on St. Pats day for the period of spring practise.

They wore the green uniforms to honor Celtic patriach Red Auerbach. That also must have brought them some good luck to come from behind and win the game.

china, ur wrong...n SC got it wrong too...the first answer is right..."To honor the late Red Augherbach, the former Boston Celtics coach"...go to MLB n look at the Red Sox hompage, it explains the reason why they were the green shirts...n by the way...VT's color doesnt contain color of green...why would they were green to honor the VT victims?...they should've wore brown or orange to honor them, not green

Tomorrow is Earth Day maybe that's why. Most wore maroon & orange to mourn the lost souls @ VTech.
Be green=Earth awareness

Ya I was wondering that too!! Well at least they won thanks to Alex Cora (and well most of the bottom lineup which shows something)
I think it was to honor some celtics coach or something.
