Is this rigged? If Luka took and missed 12 stepback 3s in a row they'd call him fat and lazy.

Tatum is so over-rated.

Dude can't take on a center 1 on 1 or beat Brunson 1 v 1? OMG Celtics should ask for a rebate on that salary!

Ok time to redeem yourself Brunson. Good news is this is a (relatively) low pressure shot since if he misses it’s just OT. But hopefully he hits it.

Tatum is damn good enough to drain that, but a step back 3 is not a good shot there.

Tatum is ice cold and still forcing it. Brunson, clutch time. Celtics need to triple team him.
