Is New York Knicks star point guard Jalen Brunson a more reliable player than Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum? In the wake of the Celtics Game 2 loss to the Knicks in their 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series at TD Garden on this past Wednesday (May 7) night,

Boston was an abysmal 10-of-40 from three-point range as a team, while Tatum went 5-of-19 from the field and 1-of-5 from deep. Jaylen Brown had six turnovers to one assist, while a typically dominant defender in Jrue Holiday committed the late foul on Brunson.

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.
