Following a devastating loss to the New York Knicks in Game 2, Jayson Tatum blamed himself for the current trajectory of the series. According to Tatum, he has not been playing up to his standards, and the fault is his own that the Boston Celtics are currently in a two-game hole.

The Magic were never able to pull away from the Celtics in Game 5 thanks to Jayson Tatum and his bag of tricks, and the Boston star made Orlando disappear with another monster performance.

The biggest question heading into Game 2 for the Boston Celtics was simple: Can they close it out without Jayson Tatum? After suffering a bone bruise on his shooting wrist late in Game 1, Tatum sat out Monday night.
