The Boston Celtics are coming off a 121-118 overtime loss to the Charlotte Hornets. The Celtics were up by two with less than 10 seconds left in the fourth quarter when LaMelo Ball tied the game following a tough layup over Jrue Holiday and Jaylen Brown.

Miles Bridges hit the game-winning 3-point shot with around seven seconds left in overtime. The Celtics had a chance to force a second overtime, but Bridges played hero once again after he stole the inbound pass from Holiday as the buzzer sounded.

Jayson Tatum had a huge game with 45 points, 13 rebounds and six assists. Kristapos Porzingis added 17 points and eight rebounds, while Payton Pritchard scored 21 points off the bench. The loss also snapped Boston's six-game winning streak.
