Did Red ever light up too soon ?

My favorite Celtic of all time is Red Auerbach. He was a genius coach and team president. Of course, Red was the original arrogant trash talker and did not back down from anyone. One of his most famous habits was lighting up a cigar when a game was in hand, but not over. Comrade Silver would probably try to arrest Red for such behavior these days.

So my question is, did Red ever light up a cigar late in a game the Celtics were winning that they ended up losing, either as coach or as GM ?
