The Stay Ready group made things interesting in the fourth quarter, but this game was anything but close. The Mavericks were in complete control for the majority of the night.

Boston’s stars didn’t really have it, and the bench gave them nothing until they were down by 27 points.
...
The fact that we all watched this sort of performance from the Celtics after they swept their recent road trip is equally as surprising as it is not.
...
The building had great energy and the team on the other side of the floor had something to prove. It’s just a shame that the Cs didn’t feel the same way.

At the same time, the letdown loss at home has become a trend for this group.

I don’t know what it is, but they just don’t win games there like they did last season when they logged a record of 37-4. All of a sudden, they’ve become gracious hosts for all visitors and are 16-10 this year at TD Garden.
