1. There is no shame in losing to the Bucks, even at home. Losing to them when you are without Al Horford, Marcus Morris and Aron Baynes is even less of a worry. But this loss feels a lot worse because it was preceded by a home loss to the Suns. Without that one, you kind of shrug and move on to the Hornets. As it stands though, the game against Charlotte on Sunday has a bit of a “must win” feel to it.
2. The start of this game played out somewhat similarly to the Phoenix game, as the Celtics raced out to a 10-1 lead.
