1966–67 Boston Celtics season

Celtics' 21st season in the NBA

Celtics' 21st season in the NBA

(lost to 76ers 1–4)

The 1966–67 Boston Celtics season was the Boston Celtics' 21st season in the NBA. The Celtics finished the season with a 60–21 record, the second best in the league. However, they lost to the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference finals 4 games to 1, thus ending their 8-year streak.

This marked the first of three seasons Bill Russell coached the club—while still a player—stepping in for Red Auerbach who would focus on his expanded role as general manager (he was already the de facto GM by that point).
