What happened, Jayson and Jaylen?

After being too cocky in the first minutes of the game until silently accepting their loss against Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown got humbled really hard!

But what happened? Even if Jayson Tatum scored 46 points and Jaylen Brown dished out 37 points, the Celtics' duos' hard work on the court is not enough to win against Spida and his crew, the reason is as follows: Celtics cannot finish their shots because of the Cavs' defense, their 2 starters, Kristaps Porzingis and JRue Holiday did not play, and the Celtics lost the fire and high morale that they have once the Cleveland Cavaliers chased the lead, making them rattled with the Cavs' ball pressure.

It's alright to be cocky, especially if you know you're good, but remember, karma is just around the corner waiting for you to get humbled, so put your cockiness down and notch with that, and you'll be liked more by fans, and even by your colleagues!
