Something was up after Friday night’s Celtics-Bucks game.
Thirty minutes after the final buzzer sounded, Boston’s locker room was still not open to media. Coach Brad Stevens had addressed reporters, but players were not yet available to discuss their showing against Milwaukee — one that featured the group’s largest deficit (26) of the season and resulted in a 120-107 loss.
So, what was responsible for the delay?
A discussion, coaches included, about the recent struggles.
“It was just the team trying to get on the same page, get everything together,” said forward Jaylen Brown, who tallied 21 points in the losing effort.
