The Celtics fall to the Jazz 118-117 in a nail biter. This is, once again, another game where the Celtics held a 19pts lead and watched it slip away as fast as it came. We out scored the Jazz 34-24 and were rolling. Started the 2nd quarter hot and built up that 19pt lead and then proceeded to get outscored 33-30 in the 2nd, 31-27 in the 3rd and 30-26 in the 4th. We lost 3 straight quarters and gave up 30pts in all 3 of them. The part of this game that is most frustrating is the fact that the Celtics offense looked great tonight. Tatum had another horrible game scoring just 15pts and missing 2 huge shots down the stretch but outside of him, the offense was great. We shot 43% from 3, had 30ast on 42fgm and only turned the ball over 8 times. You should win a game where you play like that every day of the week.

The big reason we lost this game was because of offensive rebounding and defense. The Celtics gave up 17 offensive rebounds in this one that led to 20 second chance pts. The Celtics shot themselves in the foot. Obviously in a game with no Horford, Timelord or Smart you are going to regress defensively and from a rebounding perspective but there's no excuse for playing how they did on the defensive end. This team is filled of very capable defenders and tonight wasn't a good depiction of that. I will give Grant a lot of credit for a great game alongside our bench. Every single bench player ended the night with a positive +/- while every starter was a negative. There are still a lot of things the Celtics need to clean up and there are only 10 games left to do so.
