Meanwhile, Tatum, who is 12 for 43 in this Knicks series overall (including 5 of 20 from 3), has missed eight of 10 shots and all four of his 3-pointers in 19 clutch minutes so far in this postseason. It's an extension of a regular season in which he shot 6 for 31 from 3 and just 65% from the free-throw line during clutch minutes.

Questionable fadeaways and single action possessions led by Tatum have been a considerable part of what has gone wrong for Boston against New York.

Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics find themselves in a 2-0 series hole heading into Madison Square Garden to take on the New York Knicks in Game 3 on Saturday afternoon.
