Beijing time on June 15th, in the finals g4, Celtics lost to Mavericks 84-122 away, and the series score was tied at 1-3.
In this game, Tatum, the core of the Green Army, played 27 minutes and scored 15 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks on 4 of 10 shots, with a plus-minus value of -33.
When asked by reporters after the game how to deal with this fiasco, Tatum said: "We will watch the video and find areas that need improvement. This game is the most stagnant offense in our series, obviously. This is not our best state and we have to learn from it. But we will not let the defeat affect our emotions. We must move forward no matter what, focus on the next game and give our best performance.”
It is worth mentioning that this is the first time the Green Army has lost away from home in the playoffs this season. The Green Army's 38-point defeat also set the third-largest point difference record in the history of the finals. The first two were the 1998 Finals when the Bulls won 13 points by 42 points and the 2008 Finals when the Green Army defeated the 14 Lakers by 1539 points.
