Brad Stevens On Bradley's Costly Foul: 'He's Accountable, And You Move On'

BOSTON (CBS) -- It's hard for a loss to be any more frustrating or disappointing than the way the Boston Celtics lost Tuesday night at the Milwaukee Bucks. Avery Bradley's last-second foul cost the team a chance at overtime and, ultimately, the game, as Khris Middleton buried a free throw with just 0.6 seconds left in regulation.

Celtics head coach Brad Stevens joined Zolak & Bertrand to talk about the loss and said he had a moment with Bradley after the game to make sure he wasn't being too hard on himself for the mistake. Stevens stressed the need for the team to keep their heads up and move forward.

"All I said was 'Are you good?' 'Yeah, I'll be all right.' And he goes and then he walks in front of the media, he's accountable, and you move on ... You're disappointed that you lost as a team, you're disappointed that you lost as a coaching staff. But I think you have to have the big picture in mind."

Coach Stevens also delved into the details of the loss in Milwaukee and talked about what the Celtics need to do to play better down the stretch. Listen to the full interview below!
