Celtics Lose Heartbreaker, Title Odds Remain Steady

0:00It's April 10th. Welcome to Boston Celtics News today, AI-powered coverage of your squad. I'm Corey with the story. The Celtics dropped a heartbreaker to the Knicks on Thursday night and Madison Square Garden. Jason Tatum led with 24 points, 13 rebounds, and 8 assists, but 6 turnovers and poor 3 points shooting her bad. The Knicks trained 15 of 35 from deep, and Josh Hart's two clutch triples in the final two minutes sealed the loss after Boston Bluay. Earlier this week, the Celtics let too many open looks from downtown, and their defense couldn't close it out. Still, their magic number to lock the number two seed in the east sits at just one, with home games against the Pelicans tomorrow and the magic on. Sunday, the Knicks faced Toronto and Charlotte, both fighting for playoffs. Fans are buzzing about the bench sparks, like Peyton Pritchard dropping 23 points, and 6 assists to carry the first half, and rookie Baylor. Shireman exploding for 20 points on 6 of 7 threes.

1:03Neomyas Keta grabbed a double-double with 10 points in 10 boards, showing why he's clicking lately. Even Jordan Walsh brought energy off the bench despite some miscues. Tatum earned a B-grade for his all-around line, but inefficiency dragged him down, while Derek White struggled shooting 0 for 6 from deep in A. Tough night. Sam Hauser and Nikolavusovic chipped in solid minutes 2, helping keep it competitive. Boston's title odds stay steady at plus 550 on Fandall, still east favorites. With two winnable home dates ahead, the Celtics can shake this off quick, and gear up for a deep playoff run, banner 19 in sight.
