Once again Boston showed that they can't play at the end of games, this time at home. The 27-game winning streak at home is over. Tatum had the shot to send the game to overtime, but he was in a hurry and took an early off-balance attempt without the right positioning. Denver played like champions, showing that the playoffs and the finals will be very difficult. The duo of Murray and Jokic played very well. Boston missed too many three-pointers except for the first quarter, if they shot with a little higher percentage they could've won the game. It's not that important to lose a regular season game but they have to be careful, this is a preview of a possible finals match-up.

That have been their Achilles heel this season, they're too good a shooting team and they know it too so it hurt them a lot when they need a win and tie making shot they often give up easy play and end up with the very wrong ones like leaving layups to tie a game and passing it out for a 3 pt shot, I remember just like how they lost against Warriors about a less than month ago, where they had a 6 chances opportunities came begging but they kept going for a 3 point shot and end losing the game.

Or how they lost to Pacers if I'm not mistaken, they already had a good lead but then they allow the Pacers to comeback strong in the 4th quarter and make a lot of wrong decisions in the end. Although against the Pistons, same situation, giving them a 3 point and then the game was force by the Pistons into OT and they almost lost the game. I think they really need to overcome that attitude or mentality specially in close out games. This time, they were up against the defending champion and it's going to hurt to see them losing at very close game again and snapping their winning streak at home.
