Celtics guard Derrick White and his teammates are focused on taking down the Pacers and punching their ticket back to the NBA Finals this week.

But ahead of the Celtics’ Game 1 matchup against the Pacers on Tuesday night, White made sure to pay tribute to another Boston team competing for a title in PWHL Boston.

During his walk through the TD Garden tunnel on his way to Boston’s locker room, White sported a PWHL Boston sweater — featuring captain Hilary Knight’s name and number across the back.

PWHL Boston took note of White’s wardrobe shout-out, thanking him via X.

PWHL Boston will have plenty on the line Tuesday night at Lowell’s Tsongas Center, as the team plays PWHL Minnesota in Game 2 of the best-of-five Walter Cup Finals.

Boston took Game 1 against Minnesota, 4-3, on Sunday — with another win putting Boston on the brink of the PWHL’s inaugural championship.

Despite an up-and-down regular season, PWHL Boston is hitting its stride at just the right time. Boston has not lost a game in the postseason — sweeping PWHL Montreal over three games during the league semifinals.

Puck drop for Game 2 between Boston and Minnesota was at 7 p.m. on Tuesday night. The game can be viewed on NESN+, as well as the PWHL’s YouTube live stream.
