East Conf. Finals - Game 4: Boston Celtics 102-111 Cleveland Cavaliers - Celtics' Player Ratings

Jayson Tatum - 6/10

#0 Jayson Tatum

Stat line: 17 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist

Although Jayson Tatum also had a couple of missed dunks over the course of the game, he was the only one that seemed to be making the right plays and decisions in the team's horrid first quarter. He scored 17 but it came only on 5-of-13 shooting (0-of-1 on 3s), which has obviously got to be better.

To his credit, this was his first game of the series that he shot below 40%. In fairness, he is still a rookie but that can't be pulled up as an excuse whenever he has an off-game (which has been rare in this postseason). He has raised the expectations so high, sub-par games do deserve their fair among of critiquing.

He has to stay unfazed in the face of the brand of physical defense that the Cavs have played on him in the last 2 games.
