Every team is bound to lose matchups. It’s a part of basketball, especially in an 82-game season. After starting a league best 5-0, the Boston Celtics suffered consecutive losses against the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Philadelphia 76ers. And to be fair, their last few matchups were coincidently against two of the best defensive teams in the league.
Wins are hard to come by in the NBA, especially on the road. For the second straight matchup, Boston did not shoot efficiently. Over the stretch against the Timberwolves and Sixers, the C’s shot 39.
