Boston, which is only 3-5 straight-up and has been passed by Milwaukee for the best record in the NBA in the last two weeks, has to be a bit chagrined about its latest disappointing effort. Monday’s 111-109 loss to the Houston Rockets (15-52 entering that game) despite a 43-point effort from Jaylen Brown has to rank alongside the 150-117 loss to Oklahoma City on January 3 as the lowest points thus far in an otherwise stellar season for the Celtics. It’s worth noting that Boston put a hurt on the Mavericks in Dallas two nights after that Thunder humiliation and can see the same situation emerging here. Minnesota would appear as a ripe potential victim, as the Timberwolves have lost and failed to cover four straight at the Target Center. Motivation counts for a great deal in the NBA and there's likely no more motivated squad in the Association tonight than the Celtics.
