Boston Celtics suffer shocking collapse, lose to Cleveland Cavaliers

Posted : 06 March 2024

The Boston Celtics experienced a stunning turnaround as they squandered a commanding 22-point fourth-quarter lead against the Cleveland Cavaliers, ultimately falling 105-104 and ending their 11-game winning streak. Despite a strong start and dominant play through the first three quarters, the Celtics crumbled defensively and offensively in the final period, allowing the Cavaliers to mount a remarkable comeback.

 

Jaylen Brown, reflecting on the loss, attributed it to a lapse in mindset rather than tactical errors. He highlighted a lack of discipline, carelessness with possessions, and defensive breakdowns as contributing factors to the team's downfall. Despite maintaining control for much of the game and boasting a comfortable lead, the Celtics faltered in the crucial moments of the fourth quarter.

 

Dean Wade's exceptional performance for the Cavaliers, including a perfect shooting record in the final quarter, compounded the Celtics' struggles. Wade's offensive prowess, coupled with critical plays like an important tip dunk, underscored Boston's inability to contain Cleveland's late surge. Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla emphasized the team's mental mistakes and highlighted the need for heightened attention to detail in critical situations.

 

The game's final moments saw controversy as a foul initially called on Darius Garland against Jayson Tatum was overturned upon review. Tatum's missed shot sealed the Celtics' fate, marking a disappointing end to their impressive winning streak. Despite the setback, Brown stressed the importance of learning from the defeat and maintaining focus on improving habits and mentality for future games.
