22 arrested after Celtics win

BOSTON (AP) - Boston police said 22 people were arrested during the Celtics' championship celebration, the vast majority for disorderly conduct.

Several storefront windows were damaged near the TD Banknorth Garden after the Celtics' 131-92 win over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

Mayor Thomas Menino called the alleged offenders "punks" and said Wednesday that they should face tough penalties.

Police increased patrols around the arena Tuesday night and early Wednesday and used video surveillance at key areas around the city to control rowdiness. Previous New England Patriots and Boston Red Sox championship celebrations have been marred by deaths among revelers.
