Thunder Falls To Celtics As Gilgeous-Alexander Laments Test

Oklahoma City Thunder's 11-game winning streak ended with a 119-109 loss to the Boston Celtics, as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander admitted they failed a crucial test against a top-tier team.

Despite Gilgeous-Alexander's impressive performance with 33 points and 8 assists, the Thunder couldn't overcome the Celtics. 'Every time you play the Boston Celtics, you get a playoff feel,' Gilgeous-Alexander said. 'They're super well-coached. They have really good players... It's a game that you see where you really are, and they test you. We got a test tonight; we didn't pass it.'

The win is significant for Boston as they battle the New York Knicks for position in the Eastern Conference standings, with Jaylen Brown contributing 31 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists for the Celtics.
