The Boston Celtics suffered likely their worst loss of the season Tuesday night to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Thunder carried a 14-game losing skid into the matchup, which for them was the second night of a back-to-back. It didn't matter as the shorthanded Celtics were sluggish out the gate and unable to recover.
Lu Dort led OKC with 24 points. Darius Bazley contributed 21 points and 10 rebounds while Ty Jerome added 15 off the bench.

Here's a recap of the Celtics' third straight defeat.
