The NBA, as the last coach to lead the Celtics to an NBA championship liked to say and say often, is a make-or-miss league. It can sound trite or simplistic, that old Doc Rivers line. It can sound suspiciously like an excuse. It also happens to be true.
It can happen that a team experiences rare off-nights where shots don't fall, leading to significant deficits. The Celtics faced such a challenge, hoping for a simpler explanation for their loss to the Cavaliers in Game 2.
