It takes a lot to make Brad Stevens angry, but the Boston Celtics somehow managed to do just that.
The Celtics were run out of the gym Tuesday night in a 24-point loss to the Atlanta Hawks on national television. The defeat came on the heels of a 10-point loss to the lowly Brooklyn Nets on Sunday and was Boston’s third loss in four contests.
Stevens usually is mild-mannered, even in defeat, but after Tuesday’s loss, he didn’t hold back.
“We had this coming,” Stevens said in a postgame interview aired on CSN New England.
