We share our takeaways from the defeat, which only marks Boston’s second two-game skid of the season.
Tatum's stat line doesn't tell the whole story. The supposed frontrunner for NBA MVP looked off for the second consecutive night. After shooting 6-for-21 from the field and 2-for-9 from 3 against Golden State, he was just 7-for-20 on field goals and 2-of-8 from 3 against Los Angeles.
Brown found himself in foul trouble early with three fouls in the second quarter. He made up for it with 21 points on 9-of-15 shooting and was the Celtics' best offensive player for the second consecutive game, but that isn't saying much in what was another uncharacteristic performance for this group. Brown also had a rough free-throw shooting night as he was just 2-for-6 from the charity stripe.
With the starters struggling, it was up to Boston's bench to pick up the slack. Malcolm Brogdon and Grant Williams did all they could to keep the Celtics alive. Brogdon started off hot and just like in Saturday's defeat, he was a bright spot in a tough loss. The veteran point guard had 18 points and six assists in 31 minutes.pic.twitter.com/Psav8CpKMmWilliams has struggled offensively recently, but he did his best to keep the C's in the mix during a brief third-quarter run. He stepped up to produce 14 points with four rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 29 minutes.
