The high of blowing out the Golden State Warriors last week did not last long for star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum, with Boston dropping a close road contest to the reigning champion Denver Nuggets for the second time this season on Thursday night.

Senior NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith and the rest of ESPN’s “First Take” crew weighed in on Tatum’s reaction to the loss after the game ended.
