The Celtics are on the verge of falling behind 3-1 in the series. (The Knicks lead 113-104 with three minutes remaining), but the Celtics also could be losing their star player. Jayson Tatum went down with a lower right leg injury. He was helped off the court and is Boston's locker room.

For Boston fans, if Tatum's injury is as bad as it looks, awful isn't emphatic enough of a descriptor for this loss.
