“It just wasn’t our year.”

Jaylen Brown emphasized that point several times Friday night after the Boston Celtics’ season-ending 119-81 loss to the New York Knicks. The reigning NBA champions were outclassed as they trailed by as many as 41 points in the Game 6 defeat.

The Knicks winning the series in six games was a stunning outcome. The C’s entered as heavy favorites, but New York jumped out to a 2-0 series lead and eventually finished the job in front of its home crowd.

Boston police have released images of a man they say is responsible for a disturbing attack on a woman in the North End.

“The girl went in the building,” said neighborhood resident Berna Dinunzio. “She was up at the top of the stairs trying to get herself in. All of a sudden, the front door opens again.”

Neighbors have seen security video from a surveillance camera of the incident.

We’re starting the weekend off with a lot of gray and plenty of soupy air. Other than a few early showers, there won’t be much in the way of wet weather early today.

Our attention will turn to thunderstorms late today as a cold front slices through New England.

Timing is everything for storms, and these appear to come to us very late in the game. As sun busts through the clouds this afternoon, we should pop into the low and mid-70s.

Police body camera footage of a controversial U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation in Worcester, Massachusetts, last week was released on Friday.

The footage show a 17-year-old girl being arrested by Worcester police officers while federal agents detain her mother a few feet away on Thursday, May 8. The immigration activity prompted residents to object as it was happening, as is seen on the footage, and afterward, with protests held against ICE operations in their community.

With the release of the footage — three bodycam videos and emergency response dispatch audio described as the first batch from officers on the scene — on Friday, City Manager Eric Batista also announced a new policy prohibiting city employees from inquiring about people’s immigration status or from letting immigration status affect how people are treated. The city reiterated that Worcester police officers are not to perform immigration officers’ functions.

A frustrating postseason for Kristaps Porzingis came to an end Friday night at Madison Square Garden.

The Boston Celtics big man tallied just four points on 1 for 4 shooting in his team’s Game 6 blowout loss to the New York Knicks, providing a brief spark with a 3-pointer and a blocked shot but logging just 11 minutes and 30 seconds of court time.

Porzingis only played 20-plus minutes in one of Boston’s last six games while battling the lingering effects of an upper respiratory illness that caused him to miss eight straight games in late February and early March.

As federal immigration operations continue across Massachusetts, agents swarmed a gas station in Lowell Friday morning.

Video shows members of the Drug Enforcement Administration and Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Bridge Street business, where about a dozen workers were rounded up.

Officers swarmed the area and a SWAT team was called in, with authorities surrounding several vans belonging to a roofing company.
