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.

Tatum has struggled through two games of the Eastern Conference semifinals, and the Celtics are down 0-2 as a result.

I take full ownership of the way that I’ve played in this series,” Jayson Tatum said Thursday. “I can’t sugarcoat anything. I need to be better.”
