I have nothing bad to say about the Celtics defense. They held a really tough Oklahoma City team to 91 points which is really impressive, what killed them was KG's 5-19 shooting and Jeff Green's 2-11 performance.
The Celtics offense killed them and when it stalled in the 4th quarter that sealed their fate.
This is a game where the Celtics really missed Rondo, especially in the 4th quarter. They couldn't get anything going offensively, nobody was moving around and they just couldn't get over the hump. Everyone was settling for jump shots and not driving to the basket.
Again, their defense was terrific, to hold Kevin Durant to only 23 and Westbrook to only 15 is a feat in itself. It stinks because this was a winnable game.
