PHOTOS: Best images from the Thunder’s 126-122 loss to the Celtics

The Oklahoma City Thunder almost shocked the NBA world on Monday after they barely lost to the Boston Celtics, 126-122.

After leading by seven points entering the fourth quarter in a hostile and historic road environment, the Thunder youth was on full display against a battle-tested Celtics squad with the NBA’s best record. Boston used a 37-point fourth quarter to improve to 11-3.

Sharing a floor with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the best player on the court once again with his second consecutive 37-point performance.

Let’s take a look at the best photos from the Thunder’s 126-122 loss to the Celtics.
