The Celtics fall 119-115 against the Timberwolves in a game that was the tale of two halves offensively and a disaster for all 48 minutes defensively.
After missing the previous game with an ankle injury, Neemias Queta returned to the starting lineup and did not disappoint. Queta made an immediate impact, scoring 8 points and grabbing 7 rebounds in the first quarter, with 4 of them being offensive rebounds. Jaylen Brown came out firing as well, scoring 19 points in the first to help give the Celtics a 36-32 lead heading into the second.
In the second quarter, the offense continued its excellent play, scoring 33 points on 59/62 shooting splits.
