Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics rebounded against the New York Knicks on Saturday. After the Celtics blew back-to-back 20-point leads during the first two games of the Eastern Conference semifinals, they defeated the Knicks, 115-93, as Tatum put up 22 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists.
When the Celtics lost the first two games of the series, Tatum, as the star of the team, bore a good amount of the blame for his team's losses. Tatum and the Celtics shot poorly during those games, particularly in Game 2, when he shot 26.3% from the field and missed what could have been a game-winning basket.
