The Boston Celtics' offense failed to execute at the worst possible time in Game 4 of the 2022 NBA Finals. So what happened? Here's what coach Ime Udoka said:

"We did get some good shots off, but we would like to get a little bit more downhill and get some things to the rim and kick out. Credit to them. They stepped up defensively when it counted. Our offense wasn't as sharp as it needed to be, no doubt."

"We had plenty of opportunities," Udoka said."Every time we got a five-, six-point lead, it felt like we made some poor decisions, whether it was rushed shots in traffic or standing around and looking at each other a little bit there. Not sure if we tried to pick on mismatches too much. Got stalled out a little bit.

The Celtics failed to take a 3-1 series lead, and now the Finals is tied with the Warriors stealing back the home-court advantage. This Celtics team, for whatever reason, refuses to take the easy road. But they've responded well to adversity throughout the playoffs with a 7-0 record after losses. Boston needs to show that same resiliency Monday night in Golden State to avoid trailing in the series.
