The story of Game 2 for the Boston Celtics was the turnovers. Boston turned the ball over 19 times, gifting the Golden State Warriors 33 points in the process. However, the underlying issue was their stagnant offense.
Boston consistently failed to make the right reads, as they attempted to force the issue rather than letting the offense come to them. Despite his analytically pleasing scoring numbers, Tatum ended up settling for too many bad looks. In fact, most of his efficiency came from behind the three-point line, where he shot 6-of-9; inside the arc, he was just 2-for-10.
