Here are the takeaways as the Celtics fell apart down the stretch against the 76ers on Monday, losing 108-103.
1. Two things happened late that cost the Celtics the game.
The first was a difficult stretch offensively, as the Celtics let a seven-point lead late in the fourth quarter dwindle until Danny Green buried a 3-pointer over a late rotation to put the Sixers ahead. In the last seven minutes, the Celtics committed five turnovers and were blocked twice (which amounted to the same thing).
“That cost us the game — turnovers,” Jaylen Brown said.
