Celtics choke down the stretch, fall 119-117 to the Hawks in Game 5

In light of the Boston Celtics’ 119-117 loss to Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks in Game 5 of their first-round Eastern Conference postseason series, can fans of the Celtics trust Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown to lead Boston back to the NBA Finals?
