"I want Jayson Tatum arrested" : Knicks fangirl Ashley Nicole Moss is heartbroken over last minute loss

On Tuesday night, Jayson Tatum stared down a three-point deficit with seconds to go and erased it with a clutch basket. Tatum's booming triple sent the Boston Celtics-New York Knicks game into overtime, where the Celtics created just enough separation to seal the 119-117 victory.

After the game, CBS personality Ashley Nicole Moss — who makes no secret of her affinity for the Knicks — went on Instagram to vent her feelings on the Celtics star whose big shot extended the game:

Tatum finished the game with 32 points on 50% shooting from the field. Among all the shots he took all night long, none was bigger than the one he swished from downtown with 3.4 ticks left.

In the previous possession, Knicks forward Josh Hart had converted on a layup off a Jalen Brunson dime to push New York's lead to 107-104. Curiously, the Knicks did not foul Tatum to prevent a situation in which he could get off a three to tie the game, which is exactly what happened.

Aside from Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis had a huge night, putting up 34 points, four rebounds, and three assists against the team that drafted him back in 2015. Jrue Holiday added 16 points while Derrick White had a near triple-double performance with 14 points, eight rebounds, and four assists.

Jayson Tatum makes feelings known on Celtics' "title defense"

The Celtics will be heading into the playoffs as the second seed in the Eastern Conference. While some fans see this season as a title retention bid, Tatum has another perspective in mind.

After the Celtics' close win over the Knicks on Tuesday, a reporter asked Tatum if the team is "itching to defend the title." The six-time All-Star responded by clarifying the Celtics' championship mindset:

"Defend the title? No, not defend it. Can't nobody take away what we did last year. We the champs for 2024. This is a new season, a new year. We're trying to go win another championship," Tatum said.

Tatum, of course, will continue to play an integral role in the Celtics' title pursuit, along with his longtime running mate Jaylen Brown and their supporting cast of Porzingis, Holiday, and White.
