With the Cavs without offensive flamethrower Donovan Mitchell, they put up a strong effort but ultimately couldn\u2019t prevail over the Celtics\u2019 three-point shooting finding its level.<\/p>\n<p id=\"KVlYad\">Throughout the entirety of the regular season, the Celtics ran a high-octane offense that shattered records and racked up wins. The same mentality and approach that landed them the first seed in the East is the same that\u2019s driven them within one win of punching their ticket to the conference finals for the third straight year.<\/p>\n<div id=\"svEuhB\">\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qr434B400eQ?rel=0\" style=\"top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" scrolling=\"no\" allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"Vn8uVA\">So much has been made about Boston lacking aggression or drive at times, with superstar Jayson Tatum oftentimes becoming a focal point in that conversation. But in a hard-fought Game 5 victory, Tatum led by example in the first quarter, leading Boston on 6-of-9 shooting (1-of-3 3P), 3-of-3 from the charity stripe, four rebounds and tallying one assist, a steal and a block. <\/p>\n<p id=\"A9vIrE\">Not only did Tatum tie Derrick White\u2019s recent franchise record, but it was a career playoff high for first quarter scoring as he dropped 16 of Boston\u2019s 37 first quarter points. Tatum also played the entire 12 minutes, which has emerged as a trend since their first round series.<\/p>\n<div id=\"amUQys\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jayson Tatum tied Derrick White&#8217;s franchise record for the highest-scoring 1st quarter in a road playoff game.

This isn\u2019t a one-off thing either, as he\u2019s played the entirety of <strong>every<\/strong> first quarter since the Celtics sent the Heat packing. <\/p>\n<p id=\"wkbuRu\">What\u2019s significant about this is Boston\u2019s success hinging on their first quarter performance this postseason. When the Celtics win the first quarter by any margin, they\u2019re a perfect 7-0; when they don\u2019t, they\u2019re 0-2. In Boston\u2019s Game 2 loss to the Cavs, Tatum had 8 points on 1-of-4 from the field (1-2 3P), 5-of-6 from the line along with 5 rebounds and two assists; He had a plus-minus of -2 and a net rating of -20.<\/p>\n<p id=\"f2E01U\">Things become more clear when taking a look at Boston\u2019s first quarter performance in their wins as well. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/stats\/players\/advanced?TeamID=1610612738&amp;Period=1&amp;DateFrom=04%2F30%2F2024&amp;StarterBench=Starters&amp;PerMode=Totals&amp;Outcome=W&amp;DateTo=05%2F14%2F2024\">Among Celtics starters<\/a> since Porzingis has been sidelined, Jayson Tatum in the first quarter is 1st in offensive rating (143.7), 2nd in net rating (29.8), 1st in rebounding percentage (16.3%),  1st In Player Impact Estimate (19.1), and 2nd in effective field goal percentage (71.2%) as well as true shooting percentage (74.6%).<\/p>\n<div id=\"2XWpPd\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Wondering if Jayson Tatum is now considered a good playoff performer after going for 33\u201311-5 tonight and 33-13-6 two nights ago. Both on the road.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Shane Young (@YoungNBA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/YoungNBA\/status\/1790194760852152330?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 14, 2024<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"Hsv65I\">Quite simply put, when Tatum plays like the best player on the Celtics to start games, the offense flourishes and the team reaps the benefits of a hot start. Whether it be the chatter surrounding him and his apparent shooting struggles, Tatum has made a concerted effort over the last two games to assert his will onto opponents.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ZBzZVA\">Boston\u2019s top player has left his fingerprints all over the team\u2019s offense, and he\u2019s done it by being aggressive and creating offensive opportunities for himself as well as others. <\/p>\n<p id=\"HlpZAr\">With their road win on Monday, the Celtics are 1st in first quarter scoring for the playoffs (31.1 PPG) just ahead of the Indiana Pacers (31.0 PPG); both teams finished in those respective positions during the regular season. The biggest deal here is Boston is doing this after losing a starter three-and-a-half games into the playoffs, and have the potential to improve once Porzingis makes his return to play.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p8WRh6\">The best move right now for the Celtics is to keep Jayson Tatum involved offensively. early and often. I\u2019m not talking about force-feeding him or hunting mismatches, but keep your superstar engaged right from the jump. There shouldn\u2019t be a lot of possessions where Tatum is uninvolved or standing in the corner, and by kickstarting Tatum\u2019s scoring from tipoff, Boston\u2019s offensive gears start turning and everyone benefits.<\/p>\n<p id=\"mzAXVZ\">The Celtics will look to close out the Cavaliers at TD Garden on Wednesday night, 7 PM EST tipoff.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Lv7v6Y\">\n<p id=\"8nPuof\">\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>        David Richard-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n<p>  Jayson Tatum has been leading the charge in the first quarter, and the Boston Celtics are thriving as a result.
