The Boston Celtics suffered a shocking defeat at the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers, losing a commanding 22-point lead in the fourth quarter to ultimately fall 105-104. The Celtics, who had been on an impressive 11-game winning streak, were left reeling after their collapse.
Despite a strong performance through the first three quarters, the Celtics' mindset seemed to shift in the final period. Jaylen Brown acknowledged that the team became too comfortable and lacked the necessary discipline and focus to maintain their lead. Mental mistakes, carelessness with the ball, and defensive lapses allowed the Cavaliers to mount a remarkable comeback.
