Celtics suffer worst loss of the season, fall 129-120 to Nets

Error 0:

The Boston Celtics suffered their worst loss of the season after giving up a 21-point lead and losing 129-120 to the Brooklyn Nets. Boston allowed 51 points in the fourth quarter and squandered what should have been an easy win over an inferior Nets team.

Despite being named Eastern Conference Player of the Month just hours earlier, Jayson Tatum (illness) was forced to miss tonight's game. The Celtics, though, welcomed back Kemba Walker to the lineup after missing the team's last five games with a knee issue.
