The Celtics went 5-2 on the homestand while being HISTORICALLY bad in the fourth quarter

TD Garden was jumping as Oklahoma City Thunder wing Aaron Wiggins airballed a last-second three-point attempt to end Wednesday’s third quarter. Boston Celtics fans had just watched their team erase a 12-point deficit after ripping off an 18-6 run heading into the fourth quarter.

Things were looking up. It was the first time that the Cs were able to get stops and baskets at the same time.

It was also the last.

There wasn’t any point in the fourth quarter when it felt like Boston was in control. They started the quarter by matching OKC’s buckets but failed to get key stops to build any momentum.
