The Celtics traveled to FedExForum in hopes of establishing a new win streak after handily defeating the Orlando Magic on Sunday. Meanwhile, Boston’s foe, the Memphis Grizzlies, were 2-2 across their last four outings with recent victories against the Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors. A fantastic showing from Jeff Teague (26 points on 10-for-12 shooting from the field) was not enough to overcome Ja Morant as the Celtics fell 126-132.
First Quarter: Boston came out of the gate with a palpable sense of urgency on both ends of the floor.
