Raptors have made a mind-baffling comeback in the Eastern Conference Semifinals against Celtics, as the series stands even now. Celtics got defeated 100-93 in Game 4, which is said to be an extremely poor show from the team. They broke down on the offensive end and failed to grab it back.

Celtics was known for long-range shooting this season, but this game saw a complete disaster of that as well. They were shooting 7-of-35 from the deep that added to their embarrassing defeat. Jayson Tatum scored team-highest 24 points and 10 rebounds while Kemba Walker added 15 more to it.

After OG Anunoby’s buzzer-beater gave the Raptors some hope in Game 3, this one was a great performance for them. Pascal Siakam (23) and Kyle Lowry (22) paved the team’s way for victory.

On the other hand, Celtics’ star Jaylen Brown disappointed viewers by scoring only 2/11 three-pointers. Moreover, Marcus Smart, Kemba Walker, and Jayson Tatum were 1-for-6 from beyond the arc.

Kemba Walker unhappy with Celtics after a terrible defeat

Considering a terrible performance by the Celtics, Kemba took the loss on himself in the post-match interview.

“I’ve got to be more aggressive, I think,” Walker said. “I wasn’t aggressive enough. That’s unacceptable on my behalf, to be honest. There’s no way I can just be taking nine shots. That’s unacceptable.”

“We just really missed. We missed a lot of open ones that we know we can make. Like I said, we gotta make them. We have to make shots. When guys get shots, when guys are open, we gotta knock them shots down.”

The hope still remains for the green army. They are confident of securing themselves in the next game. Walker says, “We’ll do better. We’ll do better.”

Do you think they will?
