Celtics fans give Desi Linden standing ovation

Corrections and clarifications: The Celtics are playing the Bucks.

Desiree Linden took her Boston Marathon medal to the Celtics-Bucks playoff game on Tuesday night where she received the only greeting appropriate for a woman who ran 26.2 miles in miserable rain and wind less than 24 hours earlier.

Linden became the first American woman to win the Boston Marathon since 1985 when she surprised even herself to win the 26.2 mile race.
