Despite finishing group play with a 3-1 record, the Boston Celtics find themselves eliminated from the NBA Cup due to tiebreakers, missing knockout rounds for the second consecutive year.
The Celtics faced disappointment after Atlanta earned the tiebreaker over them, necessitating miraculous outcomes from other games which ultimately did not materialize in their favor.
With the Knicks coming close to a 37-point victory that could have aided the Celtics’ wild-card hopes, the eventual 121-106 win for New York extinguished Boston’s chances.
The triumphs of the Milwaukee Bucks and Atlanta Hawks in their respective groups meant that the Celtics are on the outside looking in for the second straight year in the NBA Cup.
