The Oklahoma City Thunder put up 150 points against the Boston Celtics in a complete blowout. OKC has had a sub-par season so far with a 15-21 record before they faced the Boston Celtics, who were 26-11. The Celtics, headed by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, have had a good season so far, until the loss to the Thunder. UFC bantamweight Rob Font reacted to the win:
"150 is crazy #Celtics"
The Oklahoma City Thunder put up record-breaking numbers against the NBA-leading Celtics. With one of their highest-scoring players, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, not playing, Josh Giddey stepped up, putting up a season-high 25 points. It was a record-tying performance with the OKC team of 2019 led by Chris Paul, Steven Adams, and Gilgeous-Alexander.
Both teams had five players score more than 21 points in a game. Rob Font, who is a Massachusetts native, could not believe his team lost by 33 points to a short-handed Oklahoma City Thunder side who were having a bad season. The Celtics are NBA championship favorites, with MVP contender Jayson Tatum leading them in scoring. However, this loss will most likely badly affect team morale.

With the Golden State Warriors and the Luka Doncic-led Dallas Mavericks making late surges for their championship hopes, the Celtics seem to be in deep waters as favorites.

Jaylen Brown gives his honest thoughts on Oklahoma City Thunder dominating Boston Celtics
Jaylen Brown did not mince words when he spoke about their loss to Oklahoma City Thunder. Brown is an integral part of the Celtics team and is one of their leading scorers. However, he was not very impressed by the team's performance against OKC and pointed out exactly what went wrong in the match and how the opponents took advantage of their shortcomings:
"We got our a** kicked. That's what happened. You come out, you take it for granted and that's what happens. We probably had it coming to us. Came out the last couple of games, we pick and choose when we want to play."
He added:
"We wasn't connected, didn't have each other's back out there. No help side defense, we didn't guard our yard. Those young boys over there came out and made us look bad. They embarrassed us. They kicked our a** and that's what happened."
The Boston Celtics will look to overcome their blowout loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder and resume their championship run. The Celtics have a strong team, with one of the brightest young talents in the league and will look to capitalize on it.
