If there’s anything the Houdini has learned since the beginning of the ongoing Boston Celtics-Brooklyn Nets Eastern Conference quarterfinals series, it’s that one star will never beat a Big 3 by himself.
Jayson Tatum led the way for the Cs in an 11-point loss to Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden in game one, but his 22 points were no match for the 82-point onslaught from the #ScaryHours trio.
The second game of the series had a quite different inflection because of Tatum’s early exit. While he is likely to return Friday night at the TD Garden, his absence in game two led to a 22-point blowout loss.
