The Celtics fall to the Cavs 118-114 and blow their third straight double digit lead in this one. The Celtics played 3 quarters of brilliant basketball. We outscored the Cavs in all of the first 3 quarters and had a 14pt lead going into the 4th. The Celtics built this lead with excellent 3pt shooting and an unbelievable night from JB (32pts 14reb and 9ast) and Malcolm Brogdon (24pts 4reb 5ast). The ball was flying around and guys were cutting creating open shots. On top of that, the Celtics were playing hard on the defensive end forcing a ton of turnovers that led to easy opportunities.

After going into 2OT yesterday the Celtics looked exhausted going into this 4th quarter and was evident as most of their shots came up short. I'm not using that as an excuse because it is inexcusable to lose a 14pt lead in a 4th quarter. The ball stopped moving the way it was in the beginning and after out 13-26 start from 3, we ended the night 16-48 so from the 3rd quarter on we shot just 13% from 3. With all of that being said, the Celtics had the ball with 6 seconds left in a tied game and Pritchard flew up the floor and Grant Williams gets fouled on the putback attempt. He had an opportunity to win the game by hitting just 1 FT and missed both of them forcing an OT and at that point the Celtics were toast. They made just 1 FG the entire OT which was JB splitting a crazy double team and the only other pts were 3 FTs from JB. They had no legs and because of the missed FTs from Grant, we are now staring at a 3rd straight game with a double digit lead blown.
