Celtics stunned at home as Timberwolves snap 18-game losing streak

The Celtics took a surprising loss at home on Sunday, March 22, 2026, falling 102 to 92 to a Timberwolves team that had not won in weeks.

Minnesota came into Boston riding an 18-game losing streak, one of the longest in the league this season. That streak ended at TD Garden.

Boston struggled to find rhythm on offense, while the Timberwolves controlled the pace and pulled away late. The loss comes at a time when the Celtics are trying to build momentum heading into the final stretch of the season.

For fans, this one stands out. Losing at home is one thing. Losing to a team that had not won in nearly a month hits harder.

The Timberwolves played with urgency from the start, taking advantage of missed shots and defensive lapses. By the fourth quarter, Boston was chasing the game and never fully recovered.

It is not a season-defining loss, but it is the kind that raises questions.

The Celtics remain one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, but consistency has been a concern in stretches. Games like this show how quickly things can shift, even against struggling opponents.

With the playoffs approaching, every game matters more. The focus now turns to how Boston responds.

A quick bounce-back keeps this as a blip. Another slow performance, and it becomes something bigger.
