The Celtics became the third team during these playoffs to have travel problems with Boston's charter plane experiencing mechanical problems on Monday in Los Angeles, the L.A. Times are reporting.

The problems resulted in the Celtics being delayed a few hours before being on their way back to Boston.

In earlier playoff rounds, the Denver Nuggets' bus caught fire, and the San Antonio Spurs were forced to sleep on a tarmac in New Orleans because of mechanical problems with their plane.
