The Boston Celtics rollercoaster of emotions swung them from the high of retaking a lead late in a game that had seemingly slipped away to the low of giving that lead right back. But after Domantas Sabonis missed a free throw that would have made it a two point game with 7.1 seconds left, there was hope.
Boston had a good amount of time, their three best players on the floor, and the freedom to take any shot they could create.
So when Jayson Tatum rose up for a 30 foot side-step 3-pointer, there was certainly a feeling that he could have gotten something better.
