As Jayson Tatum prepares for his fifth conference finals in seven seasons, John Tomase explains how the Celtics star has separated himself from his peers.
Cleveland was without Jarrett Allen again, Caris LeVert, and Donovan Mitchell for a second consecutive contest due a calf strain. The offense was mainly carried by former Celtic Marcus Morris Sr., who began 7-8 from the field and finished 10-13, and 5-6 from three with 25 points, and Evan Mobley, with a playoff-high 33 points. The Cavs still gave the Celtics a solid battle, as Boston did not separate themselves until midway through the fourth quarter.
Jayson Tatum and Al Horford came up big for the Celtics against a short-handed but scrappy opponent.
