Check out this fan angle of the Jayson Tatum game-winner for the Boston Celtics on Sunday.
Jayson Tatum lifted the Boston Celtics past the division rival Brooklyn Nets in the final seconds.
In a game that went down to the wire, we all had a feeling that the team with the ball last was going to win. Boston decided against calling a timeout ahead of its final possession and it worked out wonderfully. Tatum was able to get to the rim and propel the Celtics past the Nets on this incredible buzzer-beating shot. Boston took Game 1 by the score of 115-114 on Easter Sunday.
Here is how loud it got at TD Garden in the aftermath of the first-round playoff game.

This is huge for the Celtics as they were able to hold serve over a surging Nets team. While the Celtics have the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs, Brooklyn might be the most dangerous No. 7 seed in NBA playoffs history. With the likes of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, and potentially Ben Simmons making his team debut soon, the Nets are going to be a very tough out.
Tatum’s late-game heroics made sure the Celtics were not going to drop the first one at home.
