Pretty incredible Tatum can throw up massive clunkers back to back and Boston right there G1 and has a decent lead G2

Definitely an interesting decision to whistle that phantom foul after you just let Boston get away with a ton of contact

Tatum might be better over the season, but when the moment is tightest, the C's become Brown's team

Yeah sorry the Knicks will not win giving up offensive rebounds like this and the Celtics multiple looks from three. Also you see the whole Celtics roster is now also attacking the rim, White, Brown Tatum, Holiday and creating easy buckets. The Knicks have to find a way to keep them out of the paint and rebound.
