Jayson Tatum and the Celtics face an uphill battle against the Warriors
The Boston Celtics are on the verge of losing the NBA Finals after a crucial game 5 defeat on the road against the Golden State Warriors. The 10-point loss comes in the wake of an array of mediocre performances from All-Star duo Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
Jayson Tatum has failed to show up emphatically as he has done in the rest of the playoffs. The inaugural Larry Bird Eastern Conference Finals MVP is averaging a paltry 23.2 points in the series.

On the other hand, Jaylen Brown has recently missed the mark on several occasions as well. The 2021 All-Star had only 18 points in the Celtics’ 10-point loss on Monday, shooting 5-for-18 from the field, and 0-for-5 from deep.
