Tatum’s performance included eight rebounds and five assists, a significant improvement on his 10-point performance in the Celtics’ loss on Saturday.

“You feel like you let your team-mates down,” he said of his game-three tally.

“I think I do a really good job of sleeping it off regardless if I had 10 points or 46 points. I’m a big believer that you can’t change what happened. I didn’t doubt myself.”

The fifth game of the series is scheduled for Wednesday in Miami.

The Celtics jumped out to a 29-11 lead after one quarter on their home court, and Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Robert Williams III, Derrick White, and Payton Richard all reached double figures.
