Celtics overcome 16-point deficit to keep Thunder winless

New York, October 26: The Oklahoma City Thunder have some work to do in the NBA.

Oklahoma City are now 0-4 this season after they blew a 16-point second-half lead to fall 101-95 against Boston at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Thursday.

The Celtics went the entire first half without making a three-pointer, but came out in the third and hit nine while dropping 40 points and taking a one-point lead into the final 12 minutes.

The Thunder got the lead back for parts of the final quarter, but were unable to fend off the Celtics, who outscored Oklahoma City 67-45 in the second half.

A Marcus Morris three-pointer gave the Celtics a 98-95 lead with less than 30 seconds to play which ultimately put the game out of reach for the Thunder.

Oklahoma City scored just one point in the final four minutes, 14 seconds of the game.
