“That was awesome,” said head coach Joe Mazzulla after the Boston Celtics’ first loss of the season. “What a game. That was sick.”
Boston was outdueled by the Minnesota Timberwolves in overtime on Monday night, falling 114-109. Anthony Edwards steamrolled the Celtics, pouring in 38 points to go along with nine rebounds and seven assists.
But the more noteworthy storyline for Minnesota, and by proxy, Boston, came on the other end of the court. The Celtics entered the game with the best offensive rating in the league, but the Timberwolves completely stifled them.
