The Celtics entered the game winners of four straight games. With the loss, they are now 47-24 on the season with 11 contests left. Boston's lead over the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference standings is just one game; the Knicks blew out the lowly Washington Wizards on Sunday at Madison Square Garden.
But back to the Celts. They had no answer for Wolves guard Bones Hyland, who led all Minnesota scorers with 23 points off the bench on 3-for-7 from 3, making up for the absence of Anthony Edwards, who was out with knee inflammation.
Jaden McDaniels (19 points) and Ayo Dosunmu (17 points) were also key for the Timberwolves.
The Celtics were outrebounded 57-53, with Wolves center Rudy Gobert snagging 14 rebounds, Julius Randle grabbing 10, and Naz Reid snatching seven.

Jayson Tatum finished with 16 points and 11 boards, while Jaylen Brown finished with 29 points, seven rebounds, and four assists, by the star duo was a combined 15-for-42 from the field on the night. Derrick White also struggled from the field (6-for-15).
It just wasn't Boston's night. They'll have a chance to get back on track on Wednesday when the Oklahoma City Thunder come to town.
