Nets lose to Celtics, extend losing streak to three

The Brooklyn Nets lost to the Boston Celtics, 115-113, on Saturday, marking their third consecutive defeat. The Nets now hold the fifth-best odds in the NBA draft lottery and have lost 11 of their last 13 games. Cam Thomas, the team's leading scorer, will miss the rest of the season due to a hamstring injury. The Nets also played without Nic Claxton, Noah Clowney, and Trendon Watford against Boston. Maxwell Lewis scored a career-high 15 points, contributing to a strong effort, but the Nets fell short in the final moments. The team will face the Atlanta Hawks next.
