But the third-year shooting guard didn’t shy away from the moment.They stayed calm while surrendering a 16-point lead and overcame a five-point deficit in overtime to win. Boston’s Jayson Tatum should have been called for an offensive foul on his go-ahead three-pointer with 38.1 seconds left in overtime. He pushed Maxey several feet backwards with his right arm to create space for the shot. But the refs didn’t call a foul and the Celtics had a 115-113 advantage.
