Overview
- San Antonio beat Boston 100-95 at TD Garden, with Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox scoring 21 each and Wembanyama hitting the dagger jumper with about 19 seconds left.
- Derrick White led the Celtics with 29 points and Jaylen Brown added 27, as Boston dropped to 24-14 and closed a 2-2 homestand.
- The Celtics attempted four free throws to the Spurs’ 20, and Brown—who had zero attempts—publicly criticized the crew led by Curtis Blair and posted an expletive message on social media, comments that typically draw league fines.
- The loss followed Friday’s 125-117 win over a short-handed Raptors team, when Payton Pritchard scored 28 and Boston shot roughly 54% from the field and 50% from three.
- Boston begins a road-heavy stretch at Indiana on Monday, with the free-throw disparity and officiating top of mind for a team that has struggled to get to the line this season.
