The Boston Celtics are in a lot of trouble after losing Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals to the Miami Heat on Sunday night. They are now down 0-3 in the series and very well could be swept out of the playoffs Tuesday night in south Florida.
One of the big reasons for their struggles against the Heat has been the play of their All-NBA guard, Jayson Tatum. He has disappeared in the fourth quarters of all three losses and has left Celtics fans wondering why he isn’t being the force he has been before in the playoffs.
These numbers tell an amazingly bad story for the 25-year-old star:
