"It's something I've been dealing with for probably like two months now," Tatum said of his wrist. "It wasn't anything abnormal, when I fall on it, it bothers me, but nothing that I haven't been dealing with the last couple months."

The All-Star forward finished the game with ten points on just 4/19 shooting from the field.  

However, he did have four blocks and one steal on the defensive end. 

Game 4 will be played back in Wisconsin on Monday night before the teams head back to Boston for Game 5.
