Jayson Tatum has not played his best game against the Knicks entering Saturday’s Game 3. Over the first two games of the series, Tatum had scored 36 points on 12/42 from the field.
He was better on Saturday afternoon, but I didn’t think he played his best game in the Celtics’ 115-93 win over the Knicks. He missed a lot of shots around the rim, but the good news for the Celtics was that he had his three-ball going, hitting 5 threes on 9 attempts. After the game, he gave great perspective and was as levelheaded as he usually is.
