The Celtics, and Jayson Tatum, had a good idea of what to expect in the postseason following Wednesday’s loss to Miami.
It hasn’t happened often since the start of the year, but the Heat blitzed and tripled effectively enough to disrupt Tatum. His 20-point performance included an 0-for-5 night from 3-point range and a two-point, 1-for-3 fourth quarter.
Dallas had similar success during another Celtics Garden loss on March 13, when Tatum needed 23 shots to score 21 points. Better off-ball action is needed at those times, says Ime Udoka.
