Tatum had 29 points in Game 4 before picking up his sixth foul with 2:49 to go in regulation.
For all of the ups and downs for Boston over the last several seasons, this was its third sweep of a postseason series since 2019; in addition to this series and the 2020 series vs. Philadelphia, the Celtics knocked out the Indiana Pacers in four games in the first round in 2019.
