Somehow, there is a worse way to lose a game than missing two free throws in a tie game at the end of regulation. As Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams learned, you could have talked trash before the misses.
A road game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday was already rough enough for Boston, which had lost three of its last four games and led by 15 points in both the second and third quarter. The Cavaliers were down by double digits as late as 4:15 left in the fourth, but rallied to tie the game at 109-109 in the final seconds.
