Great worries at the Boston Celtics. The NBA champion is worried about its superstar and stands in front of the playoff.
After a completely bitter evening, the Boston Celtics are faced with a task that is hardly to be solved on the way to the hoped -for title defense in the NBA. The master lost the fourth quarter -final game at the New York Knicks 113: 121 and Jayson Tatum in the playoffs. In the best-of-Seven series, it is 1: 3 due to defeat, Boston now needs three victories in a row to prevent it.
It is more than questionable that Tatum can help you catch up. The superstar injured his right ankle in a duel three minutes before the end, limped from the field after a treatment and was driven through the catacombs in a wheelchair. The 27-year-old kept holding his hands in front of his face and seemed to have great pain.

Great worries about Jayson Tatum
“We are worried about his health, his condition and what we have to do better in game five when we return to Boston,” said Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla. An MRI examination will be carried out at Tatum.
Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 39 points and twelve assists to the home win in Madison Square Garden, the German Ariel Hukporti was not used again. Tatum, who had requested a break lying on the ground, was 42 points before it was replaced – his best value in the running playoffs.
New York caught up in a 14-point deficit in the third quarter and got three match balls. Game five will take place on Wednesday (local time) in Boston.
