The Boston Celtics just couldn’t keep up with the Brooklyn Nets in Game 4 of their first-round series on Sunday, falling 141 – 126 with several key players out and a more focused opponent taking full advantage of every mistake their young roster made — and they made plenty.
In grading the team’s Game 4 performance on a player-by-player basis, we tried to take into account each member of Boston’s roster who saw enough floor time to make an impact into context as well as where they are at in their career. We balanced that with how well they did the job at hand regardless of other details, and even with the gentle curve of an injury-depleted roster applied, several players came up wanting.
Let’s take a look at how they did.
