The Celtics then went on their own 8-0 run, powered by 2 triples from Tatum and Jaylen Brown and stressed by a Marcus Smart step-back to provide Boston a 100-87 lead with 4:20 staying in the video game.
“I was excited to play today,” Tatum stated when asked what got him going throughout Friday’s Game 6. “Game 6, this is a huge minute for everyone. For myself and the group, how we would react. Losing Game 5 was gonna make us or break us, and I believe we revealed a great deal of durability and development coming out here and getting a win on the roadway and providing us an opportunity.
