Duke basketball standout Jayson Tatum could not close out Game 1 against the Miami Heat.
Duke basketball sensation Jayson Tatum was coming off of the most points ever scored (51) in a Game 7 in NBA history on Sunday afternoon against the Philadelphia 76ers.
It booked the Boston Celtics a date with the Miami Heat, an 8-seed, in the Eastern Conference Finals with a chance to return to the NBA Finals for a second straight season.
The two teams met last season with a Finals berth on the line and it was Tatum and the Celtics who won Game 7 in South Beach before ultimately losing to the Golden State Warriors.
