Following a crucial Knicks win, much of the focus postgame remained on Celtics star Jayson Tatum after he suffered a right leg injury in the fourth quarter. Tatum was helped off the court by Boston trainers after suffering the injury on a non-contact play, failing to put any weight on his foot.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum left Monday's Game 3 against the New York Knicks in the fourth quarter with what appeared to be a foot or ankle injury. He was assisted off the court by trainers and taken through the Madison Square Garden tables in a wheelchair.

Mazzulla, Brown and Horford all said that Boston didn't play up to its standard defensively. This is true, particularly in the second half. But both sides of the floor are connected, and Mazzulla pointed out that the Knicks were able to play with pace in part because of the Celtics' poor offensive execution.
