When your back is against the wall in the playoffs, you either show up and fight or you fold and go home. Jayson Tatum chose to show up and fight in Game 3.
The Celtics defended home court in Game 3, beating the Brooklyn Nets, 125-119, to keep their playoff hopes alive and avoid an 0-3 hole.
Jayson Tatum led the way in Game 3, bouncing back huge after two disappointing games to start the series, scoring 50 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists in last night’s victory. Tatum shot 16-of-30 from the field, 5-of-11 from three, and 13-of-15 from the free throw line.
