Unfortunately, the Nets were not able to achieve their desired result as they lost to the Celtics 115-113 in which Brooklyn was able to come back from a 21-point deficit to make the game interesting in the end.

Down 101-99 with a minute remaining, Cam Johnson felt he got slapped on the wrist on a missed three-point attempt. Preoccupied with the officials, the Nets fell asleep and Darius Garland beat them down the floor off the inbounds for a game-sealing layup.
