The Celtics led the Bulls 103-89 entering the fourth quarter Monday night and lost 128-114.
Why it matters: It's the first time in the shot-clock era (since 1954) that a team lost by 14+ points after leading by 14+ points entering the fourth.
Between the lines: Boston is led by two high-volume scorers who aren't the best distributors. Jayson Tatum is averaging 24.6 shot attempts and 3.7 assists, while Jaylen Brown is averaging 20.2 shot attempts and just 2.5 assists.
"Every team knows we're trying to go to Jayson and Jaylen. ... I think everybody's scouting report is to make those guys pass the ball. They don't want to pass the ball."
