Holiday and Tatum combined to go 14-47 (30%) from the field (5-27 from 3).

Hard to win when that cold with that many attempts.

Nothing to take from this. Schedule loss, cold night.

Celts now 0-4 in the past two years when shooting <=30% and opponent shooting >=45% from 3. Pretty good to keep it that close. Grizzlies gave Jrue the Smart Special coverage.

Weird game.

Terribly officiated, refs lost control, though definitely not the only reason we lost.

The Al-less future of the front court looks bleak. God forbid we lose KP or he gets hurt.

Jrue with 23 points but 4-17 from 3 and 8-26 from the field. Mostly wide open looks and benched in crunch time.

Lots of sloppy play from Jaylen. Surprised Tatum only had 1 TO, looked out of control also though I guess that manifested more as wild drives/shots.

30% on 3 on 60 (!!) attempts. And they were just about all wide open.

A total of ONE team has won a game like that this calendar year, the Hawks over the Raptors on January 28th. 6/27 (22.2%) for Atlanta, 15/31 (48.4%) for Toronto. Would also note the Derrick White tip Game 6 at Miami in 2023 was such a win for the C's.

Got to go back to January 15, 2014 for the last such Celtics regular season win though. Over, well, naturally, Toronto.

6 games in 9 days I believe, and after a pretty emotional win against MIL.

Last year, after last year's emotional win against MIN, BOS lost by 40 (or so) against MIL - so maybe progress? :)
