BOSTON — Many Boston sports fans are riding high these days.

The New England Patriots have a trip to the Super Bowl at stake when they host the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Sunday. The Bruins, meanwhile, are vying for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

As for the Celtics? Well, on Monday against Oklahoma City, they accomplished something they hadn’t done in five years: they lost their fifth straight game.
