A tip of the cap. A shrug of the shoulders. The colloquial “it happens” type of night.
When everyone on the other team is drilling shots, sometimes there really isn’t much you can do. The Boston Celtics found that out on Wednesday, losing at home to the Brooklyn Nets 123-104. It simply felt like Brooklyn couldn’t miss on this night.
The Nets, a talented offensive group, were on from top to bottom. James Harden (20 points, 11 assists, 4-9 from deep) hit a pair of his patented late-clock step-backs in isolation over good contests.
