VIDEO: Brandon Bass dunks on Andrew Bogut
Bob DeChiara-USA TODAY Sports
Brandon Bass would've had plenty of reasons to celebrate a highlight-reel dunk on one of the game's best defensive bigs - and another productive night at the office - had his Boston Celtics not blown a 26-point lead in a five-point loss to the Golden State Warriors.
Bass double-doubled with a 15-point, 12-rebound effort and got Warriors center Andrew Bogut pretty good with a powerful two-handed slam.
The Celtics fell apart in the fourth after leading the NBA-best Warriors for much of the contest. A win over Golden State would have ranked among Boston's best of the season, but the team still surprisingly sits just one game back of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
