Josh Hart just slammed the ball into the ground in frustration. Neemias Queta got a free run to the rim with no one back Via @Krisplashed on X

What happened: No defender was back to stop Neemias Queta in transition. Mike Brown called an immediate timeout.

Why it matters: Boston entered the game 0-1 after a 121-113 loss in its opener. The timeout gives Brown a chance to address the transition defense while the game remains close.

What to watch: The next possessions will show whether Boston continues to find open runs to the rim.
