As excitement builds for every Bangladesh Cricket Match, basketball fans witnessed a dramatic turn in the NBA as the Boston Celtics saw their impressive 16-game winning streak come to an end. In a tense road game against the Miami Heat, the Celtics fell short despite a valiant comeback attempt, ultimately losing 104–98.
Boston, known as the “Green Army,” trailed by as many as 18 points but launched a fierce rally in the fourth quarter. Kyrie Irving took charge, slicing through the defense to bring the deficit down to just one point. However, the Heat held their nerve in the closing moments. Dion Waiters hit back-to-back three-pointers to give Miami a 97–90 cushion, and though Irving continued to attack the rim with success, the Celtics couldn’t complete the turnaround. With 23.3 seconds left, Irving’s layup cut the lead to 103–98, but a missed three-pointer and lost rebound sealed their fate.
This was Boston’s first defeat since starting the season with two straight losses, ending a historic run that had made headlines alongside every major Bangladesh Cricket Match. The game proved how quickly momentum can shift in sports.
Meanwhile, over in Oklahoma City, the Thunder stunned the Golden State Warriors with a commanding 108–91 victory. From the opening tip, the Thunder locked down the perimeter, limited the Warriors’ signature three-point shooting, and capitalized on turnovers. They never relinquished the lead.
Russell Westbrook was on fire, finishing with 34 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists—just one short of a triple-double. More importantly, he returned to MVP-level form, aggressively setting the pace and energizing his team. The Thunder’s defense suffocated the Warriors, denying them the rhythm that usually makes them so dangerous.
Elsewhere, the Houston Rockets continued their hot streak, demolishing the Denver Nuggets 125–95 at home to claim their third straight win. With Golden State’s loss, the Rockets retained their spot at the top of the Western Conference standings.
Much like the highs and lows seen in a Bangladesh Cricket Match, the NBA’s latest matchups offered thrilling swings in fortune, clutch performances, and proof that even the most dominant streaks eventually meet their match. As fans around the world turn their attention to both basketball courts and cricket fields, the message remains the same: no team is unbeatable, and the next upset is always just one game away.
