Can't believe what I saw as time expired.

Last time I've seen Celts win in this fashion is back during the Larry Bird era.

Jayson Tatum is totally a legit top 5 player in the NBA today.

A winning shot like that can only be made by legends.

We just witnessed the greatest defense played against KD one on one by Jayson Tatum. I’ve never seen KD struggle like that against a single player.

Pump fake was essential, tremendously played by Marcus. Don't forget Tatum cutting...

Is was Bruce Brown that gave up the easy drive to Jaylen, no?

Not just the pass but he made a really nice ball fake to get not 1 but 2 defenders in the air, and a 3rd defender (KD) froze up, allowing tatum to cut to the basket.

good cut by tatum. awesome ball fake and pass by smart. really good execution on that play, considering how much pressure we had on us in that moment. not only on that play, but the defensive possession before that - both plays a ton of pressure on us and both plays perfect execution.

I GUARANTEE YOU that Irving right now in his mind has two things

I **** hate these fans, I dropped 39 Durant lost this game for me.

Keep it going. Win game 2, and Irving has the chance to quit in game 3 if he goes down.

We've seen Irving personally quit in the playoffs and just stop trying on defense and it 100% can happen again.
