Celtics game 2 23

The Boston Celtics, losers of nine of their past 14 games and sitting at. Boston's latest misstep came in epic fashion, with a squandered point lead in the second half of a overtime setback to the host New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday.

That one stung," Celtics coach Brad Stevens said. Kemba Walker followed a season-best, point performance in Boston's win over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday with a disastrous shooting display two days later. He went 5 of 21 from the floor, including 1 of 12 from 3-point range. Walker scored 32 points and combined with Brown and Tatum to record 82 in Boston's victory at Dallas in the teams' last meeting on Dec.

Markkanen totaled 25 points and 11 rebounds, the fifth time in the past six games he has had plus points and plus rebounds. My ear is still kind of buzzing, but it didn't bother me. The Bulls are since acquiring Porter from Washington. I'm looking for him in the pick and roll a lot right now. That's how it should be going forward. We should be a really, really good punch. We're getting that chemistry down. The Celtics have won both previous meetings with the Bulls this season, at home in November and in December in Chicago.

The Bulls are just at home this season and have lost 11 of their past 12 games at the United Center. Phoenix surprised some when it acquired Thomas in a sign-and-trade with Sacramento back in July with fellow point guards Eric Bledsoe and Goran Dragic already on board. In the end general manager Ryan McDonough decided to blow things up.

In addition to shipping Dragic to Miami, the Suns traded Thomas to Boston in exchange for Marcus Thornton and a first-round draft pick. But it's going to be different playing against the guys I just practiced with last week , so I'm excited and hopefully we can get a win.

Thomas was averaging Fellow reserve Jae Crowder matched a career high with 22 points and Avery Bradley added 20, but it wasn't enough as Boston managed five points on 2-of shooting in OT. The reeling Suns are still looking for their moves to pay off after opening the season's second half with back-to-back defeats, at Minnesota on Friday and at Chicago on Saturday. Detroit captured a victory on Nov.
