Boston Celtics don’t blame Kemba Walker for stunning loss to the Thunder

The Boston Celtics have no intention whatsoever to blame Kemba Walker for the stunning loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Walker made a crucial turnover in the final seconds of the game, with Dennis Schroder stealing the ball to make the layup and give OKC the win (104-105).

However, his teammates did not blame him at all for the defeat. Gordon Hayward — along with other Boston players — came over to Walker inside the locker room to lift his spirits after the late turnover.

The group made it clear that the Celtics lost the game as a unit, rather than that costly mistake in the end game.

Boston has gone 5-5 in its last 10 games. They still hold the third spot in the Eastern Conference with a 42-21 record.
