Jayson Tatum couldn’t stop himself.
Frustrated by the officiating all night – and maybe another ugly shooting performance – the Celtics were trailing by double digits late in the fourth when Tatum was seemingly hit on the arm attempting a 3-pointer. He jumped a few times and clapped in protest. And after Josh Hart drilled a corner 3 to put the Knicks up 14, Tatum continued his complaining.
Moments later, the Celtics star headed to the showers at Madison Square Garden early, with Knicks fans, and even Hart, waving goodbye to him as he walked through the tunnel.
