It's not a good time for Boston Celtics fans right now. Looking as though they were about to break a two-game losing skid with a huge lead heading into the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls at home, the Celtics suddenly lost control of the contest. The Bulls ended up completing a comeback to escape Beantown with a 128-114 win.

But while Celtics guard Marcus Smart did not hold back in sharing his thoughts about Boston's shot distribution in the fourth quarter, the pair of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown took a completely another route, per  Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald.

The silence from the Celtics' dynamic duo can be deafening to some. Surely, a lot of Boston fans would have loved to hear their thoughts about such a loss and how the team rapidly melted under pressure.  Tatum went 1-of-8 from the field for two points in the final period, while Brown shot 0-of-2 in the eight minutes he was on the floor during the fourth quarter.

The Celtics started the fourth frame with a 14-point lead, which the Bulls erased with an offense that shot 81.3 percent from the floor and went 10-of-11 from the free throw line.

The best response for Tatum and Brown would be a much better performance in hopefully a win this Wednesday against the Orlando Magic on the road.
