0:00On March 23rd, the Boston Celtics 4-game winning streak ended Sunday night with a rough 92-1-on-true loss to the Minnesota. Timberwolves Minnesota pulled it off without their star guard Anthony Edwards, thanks to outscoring Boston by 15 points in the fourth quarter alone. The Celtics just couldn't find their offensive groove down the stretch. Jason Tatum has been back for a while now, after missing time with a torn Achilles tendon, and the team has mostly looked strong. Still, they've hit some patches where the offense feels off, like they're still sorting out how to play with him fully integrated. NBA Hall the Famer Tracy McGrady pointed out that Boston's shooting has dips since Tatum returned. He figures the guys are dealing with mental hurdles, trying to blend their old system with this new dynamic after building a different style without star. The Celtics had adapted well during Tatum's absence, creating a fresh offensive approach. Now, they're working through the kinks in real time to make it all click again. Regular season's setback sting, but Boston has time to iron things out before the playoffs heat up.

1:03They get a couple days' rest before facing the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night. Team coverage, powered by AI. This is Boston Celtics News Today. I'm Corey with The Story.
