Despite a 45-point outing from Jayson Tatum, the Boston Celtics 6-game winning streak came to an end Monday night. Boston could not close the game out after taking a 9-point lead with 2:20 left, eventually losing 121-118 in overtime.
Tonight's loss was inexcusable; there's no reason for the Celtics to lose to a 3-9 team when JT scores 45. I have to highlight Jaylen Brown and Jrue Holiday for some big mistakes that cost Boston the game.
Jaylen can't be going 5/17 and Holiday has to make those 2 free throws with a chance to stretch the lead to 4 with 10 seconds left.
