MIAMI — As the Boston Celtics have learned with Grant Williams’ bravado against Jimmy Butler in these Eastern Conference finals, you don’t poke the bear.
So when it comes to Jayson Tatum’s fourth-quarter struggles in what now stands as a 2-0 Celtics deficit in the best-of-seven series, the Miami Heat are neither taking credit nor accepting it as a talking point.
Even with his 30 points in the Celtics’ 123-116 Game 1 loss, Tatum did not attempt a shot in that fourth quarter, with three turnovers in the period.
