The Boston Celtics might feel that they should have won both opening games in the series against the Miami Heat, but are now heading to Miami down 2-0.
In both games, the Celtics and Heat have been close at half-time, with the likes of Jayson Tatum, Jimmy Butler, Jaylen Brown and Bam Adebayo all going back and forth. But it's been the Heat who have made the right plays at the right time, with Butler especially having moments of dominance for the Heat.
And while the Celtics biggest star, Tatum, has played well throughout the two games, there have been too many moments in the dying minutes which have heavily swung the flow of the game away from Boston.
And one statistic in particular being shared shows just how poor Tatum in particular has been in been in the fourth quarter of the last two games: Tatum has not made one shot in the fourth quarter of BOTH games so far, while committing five turnovers combined.
In the fourth quarter of game one, Tatum travelled twice which killed any momentum of a comeback, before committing another head-scratching turnover in Friday night's loss.
While Tatum has had excellent moments in the playoffs - including a Game Seven record in the win over the Philadelphia 76ers - fans have been angered by his play in clutch situations.
One fan said: "Jayson Tatum, you absolutely cannot turn the ball over there again. Criminal," with another said: "There's a level of super stardom and Tatum is not yet there."
While Tatum has struggled in those moments, his rival Butler has stepped up hugely, making countless big plays in the final minutes.
Butler had a rather pedestrian game by his standards until Grant Williams hit a three pointer and had a few words to say to him as they went back down the floor.
He then responded by making a shot of his own and was fouled by Williams in the act of shooting, which eventually lead to a 24-9 run to win the game for Miami.
The two teams will now make the trip to south Florida for games three and four, with the C's needing to win one to continue the series.
