Luck wasn't on the side of the Boston Celtics on Wednesday as they lost a nail-biter against the Philadelphia 76ers, 117-116 , at TD Garden.
The Celtics cut the lead to one with 9.1 seconds left in the fourth quarter after Payton Pritchard's layup. In the ensuing possession, VJ Edgecombe missed two free throws, giving Boston a chance to steal the win. Pritchard, however, missed on back-to-back attempts, allowing the 76ers to escape.
The Celtics blew a 12-point lead in the fourth quarter, with Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey teaming up to lead Philadelphia's furious rally.
Jaylen Brown admitted that they're still figuring things out as Boston went through a major overhaul in the offseason. He said they need to be better at paying “attention to detail” and avoiding “crucial errors.”
