It's a must-win game for the Boston Celtics on Monday night as they face the Miami Heat in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Boston is down 2-1 in the series right now, and a loss in Game 4 would send them in a deep 3-1 hole that will virtually be impossible to come back from.

Jayson Tatum knows exactly what's at stake and naturally, he decided to channel his inner Michael Jordan. The Celtics superstar understands what he needs to do for his team on Monday night and there's no better person to look to than the GOAT himself.
