REACTION: Jayson Tatum's Buzzer Beater Gives Celtics a 1-0 Series Lead Over Nets
  • 2 years ago
The Boston Celtics kicked off their Round 1 Playoff series against the Brooklyn Nets on Easter Sunday, and the game lived up to the expectations set out for it. The Nets and Celtics were physical and scrappy, leading to 18 foul calls in the first quarter alone.

Boston build a 15 PT lead, but a 20 PT quarter from Kyrie Irving had Boston teetering on the edge of losing the game. With the game coming down to one last final possession, Boston's defense stifled Kyrie Irving and forced Kevin Durant into a bad shot, and the Celtics pushed the ball up the court to take one last chance before time expired.

Jaylen Brown got clogged in the lane as he went for a layup, found Marcus Smart who pump-faked two Nets defenders past him, and Smart found Tatum for a layup past Kyrie Irving to steal the game back at the buzzer. Boston took Game 1 against the Nets 115-114 in exhilarating fashion, and now will play again on Wednesday in Boston.
