That’s probably the ball game right there. Critical moment for Brooklyn to really cut into the lead going into the 4th and you get a couple bad KD possessions and a Brown layup and Tatum 3 on the other end to open it back up to double digits.

KD is costing us the game.

If he plays like this we can't win.

And to think we had people saying Tatum couldn’t lead a team. This guy gets it done on BOTH ends.

Yeah. Al should have trapped. If nets win on Irving hitting thst, what ya gonna do. Good D.

Celtics need one more 3-point shooter.

Can't end a quarter any better than that if you're Boston.

Could have literally cut it to 4. Then they let Boston go on another urn.

I can't for the life of me see Durant being this bad over the course of the series. His scoring will pick up.

What I'm more concerned with is how effortlessly Boston changed up their game plan in the face of a tied game, and Nash has no idea how to respond.

How tall is Tatum? Can remember the last time someone blocked KD's shot straight up

Durant is getting outplayed by Tatum, on both ends.

Celtics aren’t in a terrible situation either.

Lol man let’s wait until a game is over before proclaiming Taytum has surpassed Durant. Dude is balling no doubt about it but still 12 min left.

Need a strong start to the 4th. Can’t let Brooklyn go on a small run. They can cut leads quickly with all their shooting
