NBA
The Boston Celtics struggle continues as they drop another one in OT, losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night 118-114. Boston has lost 4 of their last 5 games and are now 2 games back from the East leading Milwaukee Bucks.
The league adjusted the statistics from the Milwaukee-Washington game Sunday night and in turn took back Giannis Antetokounmpos triple-double that he was originally credited with. He pulled in a defensive rebound with 9 seconds left, he ran the ball downcourt, got near the rim the Bucks were shooting at, then threw the ball intentionally into the bottom of the rim then caught it. The 28-year-old acknowledged on Sunday night that he "kind of stole one", so the reversal did not come as a surprise.
