Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla reacted to Jayson Tatum's comments after the C's went down 0-2 against the New York Knicks. The New Yorkers returned from a 20-point deficit for the second straight game to take a lead that could be critical for the defending champions.

Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics experienced the worst kind of déjà vu against the New York Knicks on Wednesday. After blowing a 20-point lead in their Game 1 loss on Monday, they did the same in Game 2.

Trailing by one with 24 seconds left in Wednesday’s Game 2 of the Celtics’ second-round playoff series with the Knicks, Joe Mazzulla called a timeout. Mazzulla designed a play for Jayson Tatum to get a running start with the ball thanks to a screen at mid-court that would create a runway for him going at Knicks center Mitchell Robinson and then the hoop.
