Celtics fall apart in bid for NBA history and now enter offseason of questions

Associated Press  

BOSTON — Armed with a raucous crowd and seemingly all the momentum after digging their way out of a 3-0 Eastern Conference finals hole, the Celtics entered their Game 7 matchup with the Heat eyeing a chance to make NBA history. Jayson Tatum rolled his left ankle on a layup attempt on Boston’s opening possession of the game, and he and the Celtics never were the same afterward, stumbling to a 103-84 loss on Monday night. It was frustrating that I was a shell of myself, couldn’t move.” Boston was looking to extend a wild postseason ride that already included five wins when facing elimination — twice in the East semifinals after falling behind 3-2 to the 76ers, and three straight times against the Heat. “I thought in the first quarter and a half or so we continued to fight defensively, even though our shots weren’t falling,” coach Joe Mazzulla said. Now Boston enters an offseason that could change the franchise’s immediate future with a decision to be made about Brown, who is eligible to receive a five-year contract extension worth as much as $295 million.
