It’s been a season of many ups and not as many downs for the Boston Celtics, but in recent times things haven’t been peachy. Two consecutive overtime losses have knocked the C’s off-course from their quest for the #2 seed in the Eastern Conference.
The Houston loss is forgivable, being that Russell Westbrook and James Harden have run roughshod over the league and the team fought hard until the last buzzer, with Daniel Theis even making a go-ahead shot after time expired. The Houdini is far less forgiving of the C’s losing to the Brooklyn Nets after bringing a 17-point lead into the fourth quarter.
