On the other side of the court, Jayson Tatum put together a strong performance before going down with a serious lower leg injury. Many believe that Tatum tore his Achilles after scoring 42 points on 16-for-28 shooting to go along with eight rebounds, four assists, four steals, and two blocks.

“You just understand what comes with being that guy,” Tatum said after the Celtics won Game 3 Saturday 115-93, bringing the Knicks’ series lead to 2-1.

Bridges, though, throughout an up-and-down season, has mastered adversity at every turn.
