Video: Jayson Tatum's Buzzer-Beater Lifts Celtics Past Kyrie Irving, Nets in Game 1
If Sunday's Game 1 is any indication, the first-round playoff series between the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets is going to be an all-timer.
After Brooklyn overcame a double-digit deficit and took the lead in the fourth quarter, the Celtics finished their 115-114 victory with a Jayson Tatum buzzer-beating layup.
The possession seemed to be in trouble when Jaylen Brown drove into coverage, but he kicked it out. Marcus Smart then pump-faked multiple defenders, drove into the lane and found a cutting Tatum, who spun past the defense and won the game as time expired.
