Boston’s Jayson Tatum on why the Celtics’ home-and-home series with the Cleveland Cavaliers is playoff-like

Boston Celtics’ star forward Jayson Tatum shared his perspective on the team’s victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers at TD Garden postgame on Tuesday night, speaking on the challenging nature of facing the same team in quick succession.

The St. Louis native emphasized the need for the team to regroup and prepare for another tough battle vs. the Cavs in another two days with new information gleaned from their last tilt, similar to what one sees from a best-of-seven playoff series. Tatum also recognized the collective effort of the team that night, particularly praising the bench players who stepped up in the win, such as reserve guard Payton Pritchard and backup forward Sam Hauser.

The folks at NBC Sports Boston put the whole interview up for our viewing pleasure.
