Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals was a mess.
“That s#!& was chaos,” said Jayson Tatum. “That s#!& was wild.”
The Boston Celtics’ crunch-time offense showed flashes of brilliance in regulation: Jayson Tatum drew two defenders and swung the ball to Al Horford who found Derrick White in the corner for a three. Simple plays lead to quality results.
It also dissolved in a puddle of isolation: Tatum and Jaylen Brown settling for ugly pull-up threes after possessions filled with a lack of movement on or off the ball.
