Leave it to Brad Stevens' Boston Celtics to complete a miracle comeback in the final seconds against the Houston Rockets. Down three with just seconds remaining, Jayson Tatum missed a free throw off the front end of the rim (similar to Duke's Tre Jones just weeks ago against UNC), tipping the rebound out to teammate Jaylen Brown, who knocked down an open three-pointer.

As previously mentioned, these Celtics are well-coached and perfectly balanced, leading many to assume they're the top competition to the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference.

Tatum's play of late is backing that up, as well as Brown's ascent to well-rounded sidekick.
