After a frustrating 121-118 overtime loss to the 4-9 Hornets, Jayson Tatum said, “we gotta regroup. We’ve won 6or 7 games in a row. It may be easy to get complacent, things like that. We paid for it tonight.”
The Celtics didn’t play their best basketball on their 3-1 road trip. Toronto was a tight rope and Memphis came down to two missed shots on the Grizzlies’ final possession that could have won the game. All that poor play seemed to catch up with them on the back end of a back-to-back in Charlotte. Head coach Joe Mazzulla said that they didn’t pay attention to the details and took some plays off.
