Published Sun, 10 Nov 2024 23:42:57 GMT

Malcolm Brogdon said after the Celtics’ win over the Spurs on Sunday that their goal over the final stretch of the regular season is to reclaim the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.Two days later, they played like they didn’t want it, and their chances of grabbing the top seed now look slim.With a critical matchup against the first-place Bucks looming on Thursday in Milwaukee, the Celtics were caught overlooking the lottery-bound Wizards.

They fell to 2.5 games back of the Bucks – who could push it to three games on Wednesday night in Indiana – with just six games remaining.Boston looked like it was turning a corner after three consecutive dominant efforts in wins over the Kings, Pacers and Spurs, b...
