NEW YORK - Jaylen Brown remembered the pain of losing, but something felt different this time. He spent nearly a decade with the title in his sights, coming up short every year until he finally pulled it off. Suddenly, he went from a young star to Finals MVP, the hero of the championship story. It's the ultimate adulation, the pinnacle of the sport. Now Brown is back to reality, with another Boston Celtics season coming up short. "S-, it feels the same. It almost feels worse," Brown said.

BOSTON - In the purported last gasps of the Boston Celtics' season, of possibly an entire era, blood was everywhere.

The history of the NBA is built on the rubble of crumbled contenders. Injury haunts every plank of the basketball court.

BOSTON - Jayson Tatum suffered what appeared to be a serious right ankle injury late in the fourth quarter of the Boston Celtics' 121-113 loss to the New York Knicks during Game 4 of conference semifinals Monday, putting his season potentially in jeopardy. When Knicks wing OG Anunoby stole a pass intended for Tatum with 3:07 left in Game 4, Tatum planted his right foot behind him and his leg appeared to give out, sending Tatum crashing to the floor.

NEW YORK - Jayson Tatum says he lives a great life. The Boston Celtics star knows he makes a lot of money, takes care of his family, and experiences things most people can only dream of. But with that comes a price. Expectations. Blame. Disappointment. A reality that others are constantly trying to distort because you either made their day or ruined it by living your life. It's why, after his losing turnover to end Game 2, Tatum threw himself under the bus.

Tyrese Haliburton's incredible run has propelled the Indiana Pacers to their second-staight conference finals. Who could've seen this coming back in November? Not Haliburton, who was struggling with a crisis in confidence. He opened up to @TheAthletic about his mental health https://t.co/vhn5Ti5DNv
