INDIANAPOLIS — Jayson Tatum’s favorite postseason matchups are Game 3s. “Going into an opponent’s home building, it’s their first home game, the crowd is electric,” Tatum said. He’s accustomed, mind you, to the third battle of a series taking place on the road, as Boston has earned home-court advantage in at least the first round of the playoffs during six of Tatum’s seven seasons with the Celtics, including a top-two seed in each of the last three years. He dribbles with aggression and defends with intensity and rounds his massive shoulders for critical plays on the glass.
