It wouldn’t be much more exciting than hitting the bell to end a playoff on home ground. Boston fans are certainly pumped at the moment, although there is still a lot of work to do to advance to the next round.
This is one game, at least three more.
Tatum finished 31 points and eight assists. His full game held up with an epic performance from Kyrie Irving for the Nets. The former Celtic scored 39 points, six assists and four breaches.
The Celtics built a strong lead in the third quarter but the Nets sagged in the fourth.
Irving scored a hat-trick with 45 seconds left to put Brooklyn ahead by three. Jaylen Brown responded with a shot and then Boston managed to recover the ball after Kevin Durant’s foul.
Both teams will return to action on Wednesday for Game Two.
