Summary
The last time the Boston Celtics took the floor, on Saturday night, they watched Luka Doncic hit a game-winning dagger to drop their record to 4-6 — the latest setback in a season that has already seen a lot of turbulence. Today, The Athletic’s Jared Weiss breaks down all the turmoil that Boston has faced (including the semi-public dispute between Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum), and whether the team can turn things around from here.
