Jayson Tatum talks about the Game 3 win against Cavaliers
After recording his most points this postseason, Jayson Tatum talked about his mentality ahead of his 33-point performance in Game 3 against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the post-game interview.
"We just wanted to bounce back right. Disappointing loss the other night. Coming to a hostile environment on the road, especially our back was against the wall, so that was a good test for us to see how we respond, and we were up for the challenge," Tatum said.
The five-time NBA All-Star also talked about the Celtics' mentality heading into Game 4.
"Not to be satisfied. This series is far from over," Tatum said, "We responded after a loss.
"They're gonna feel like they can play better. Some things we can go over in film tomorrow, get some rest, should be another fun one on Monday. This is a great atmosphere and we're looking forward to it."
The Boston Celtics previously lost their home-court advantage after losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 2. They bounced back in the series with a road win in Game 3 to go up 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.
