Thunder 118, Celtics 112

With this win, SGA and OKC sweep the Celtics this season (they beat Boston 105-92 back on January 5). Tatum scored 33 points, but SGA scored 34 and while that alone might not have made the difference, Jalen Brown's mere 10 points didn't help. 

The Celtics set an NBA record tonight with 63 three-point attempts. Horford and White both made 6 of their 12 three-point shots, and Horford's 18 points and 10 rebounds gave him tonight's double double. All those threes still weren't enough though, and the Celtics bookend this seven-game homestand with losses to Cleveland and Oklahoma City, the two teams with the best records in the East and the West.

Time to shake it off and move on. The Celtics play the Heat in Miami on Friday and then the Nets in Brooklyn on Saturday. Lots of air-mile points for the Celtics this weekend.
