Despite a strong second quarter where the Celtics led by as many as 2 at halftime Brown made two free throws to tie it with 50.8 seconds left, they could not hold off a furious Thunder run in the fourth quarter.
The game was decided in the final seconds when OKC's Chet Holmgren was fouled on a rebound and converted both free throws to seal the win. Brown scored on a turnaround with 23 seconds left to set up the final sequence. Despite all the effort Boston lost with a minute margin.
