A strong start for Jayson Tatum and the Celtics looked so promising, but it all went downhill from there.

Boston jumped ahead 14-2 before allowing a 52-25 Golden State run in the first half, then couldn’t rally all the way back and the Warriors win the title in six games.

Golden State is in on the verge of another NBA title, but Boston has played its best when facing elimination.

Boston has already played in two seven-game series and fatigue seems to be a factor in a Game 5 loss.

Even outstanding defense sometimes isn’t enough against Golden State’s Stephen Curry, who scored 43 points in Game 4.

Tatum struggled down the stretch in Boston’s Game 4 loss to Golden State, scoring just three points in the fourth quarter.

The Celtics were bigger, stronger, faster and tougher in the 116-110 win in Game 3, giving them a 2-1 lead in the series.

Jaylen Brown scores 27 points and Jayson Tatum adds 26 as Boston gets off to a fast start.

Golden State has won at least one road game in 26 consecutive playoff series, while Boston is just 5-4 at home in these playoffs.
