“It was just an insult at the end of the game,” Brown said. “It simply came to our notice then.

“We should not miss that game. I’m responsible for it. Not only that game, but a lot of the plays before it. It’s happening. This is the NBA playoffs. Either you let them speed up or you’re ready to come back and play the next game.”

Tatum thought Brown had been told to stay with Anunobi and move to double-team Vanville. Meanwhile, Brown stayed in the paint with gasoline for a long time, waiting for Lori’s pass to pass to Anunobi, who was waiting at an angle for it to come, when he had to fly out to defend himself.

He was only able to get there after the ball had dropped Anunobi’s hands – helpless to do anything for him and the rest of the Celtics, but watch the shot fall through the net when the buzzer sounds. In celebration of saving the season, the Boston players threw their hands in the air in disgust.

“A miscommunication [of] The coverage we had, “Brown said.” that’s all. In the end they put on a remarkable play. [Anunoby] Move along the baseline, we need to communicate well, that’s all. As a unit it cannot happen. We matched, oji snack with baseline, did not recognize him earlier, and he got a wider look.

“I mean, they’s a good team we play for,” said Celtics coach Brad Stevens. “They are tough and smart, they make you jump, but our people really competed, they really fought.

“Both teams gave up everything in a great game tonight. It hurts, it’s a defeat, but we’ll get back to it and get ready on Saturday.”
