OKLAHOMA CITY -- What was already the worst start to a season in the Oklahoma City era of the Thunder, got little bit worse with a deflating 101-95 loss to the Boston Celtics on Thursday.
The Thunder led by 16 at halftime, holding the Celtics to just 34 points, but with a 40-point third quarter featuring 9-of-14 shooting from 3, Boston stormed back to take the lead. The Thunder regrouped to lead 94-85 with 4:22 left, but with only one point from then to the buzzer, the Celtics eventually took the lead for the last time on a Marcus Morris 3 from the left wing with 27 seconds left.
