In the era of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, all too often they have let opponents off the mat, giving them life when they should be home resting for the next round. It has come back to bite them in years past, when their tendency to go away from what has worked for them all season ultimately costs them not just the game but a series.
In Game 5 against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night, with a chance to end the series at home, the Celtics resorted to 1-on-1 play down the stretch, reverting from the egalitarianism that has gotten them to this point, turning a 13-point third-quarter lead into a 113-97 loss. Now, the Sixers take a 3-2 series deficit home to Philadelphia.
