Jayson Tatum would then miss a shot at the buzzer, and the Thunder leave Boston having stolen a win from the suddenly reeling at home Celtics. The OKC backcourt of Chris Paul (28) and Dennis Schroder (27) combined for 55 points. Gordon Hayward retuned to action with his stroke intact finishing with 24 points, while Marcus Smart and Jayson Tatum added 19 apiece.
Kemba Walker on his turnover in the final seconds: "It's frustrating. That's the second time that's happened in three games, so I just got to do better."

Brad Stevens: "It's a sickening feeling with this game and the Brooklyn game. This is a little bit different. Those are games you can get. You got to figure out a way to get them."

The Celtics look to bounce back on Tuesday night in Indiana. Based on the past couple weeks, it might be a good thing that the Celtics will be on the road.
