All-Star Jayson Tatum, who’d only minutes before notched his first career playoff triple-double, was going up for a rebound under a minute to play when he was undercut by Miami’s Caleb Martin, sending him crashing to the TD Garden surface.
Tatum landed hard on his hip but and bounced right up. But it didn’t stop fellow Celtics starfrom getting nose-to-nose with Martin, leading to a brief scrum and double technical fouls on Brown and Martin.
Tatum said he was fine after the play physically, and that the reason he rose to his feet so fast was linked to this team's goal to maintain its poise this postseason, something it didn't always display in last season's matchup with Miami. From his vantage point Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said he wasn't concerned at all when Tatum hit the floor.
