Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown’s valuable contribution goes in vain against Miami and Jimmy Butler
The duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown continued to impress. They dropped 29 and 24 points respectively, but it was not enough to get the win.
The Celtics were missing Marcus Smart and Al Horford, both of whom are very important players of their team and play a huge part on their defense.
However, the Celtics will get them back soon, and they will hope to get a game at Miami’s home court, which will put them in the front seat to win the Eastern Conference and qualify for the NBA Finals.
