Unfortunately, Jayson Tatum chose the worst possible time to have his worst performance of this 2021-2022 campaign. In Game 3 of the Celtics-Bucks Eastern Conference Semi-finals series, JT was extremely cold as he ended the night with a shocking stat line – 10 points, 1 rebound, and 3 assists on 21.1% from the field and went 0-6 from beyond the 3-point arc.
Tatum, who has been having a pretty impressive postseason, knows that now isn’t the time to underperform. After the game, the former Duke Blue spoke about his awful night after the Cs’ loss:
“I’m not going to make it about me or anything like that,” Tatum said. “I’ve gotta be better. I know that. My teammates know that. And I’m sure I will be.”
“Today was just a one-off where I probably was thinking a little bit too much knowing that they give me a lot of attention,” Tatum said. “Obviously, I passed up some open looks that I should have — that would have been best for the team. It led to some turnovers and things like that. But it all comes down to I just got to make better reads and a lot of times it was for myself today that I passed up.”
