Jayson Tatum arrived at TD Garden on Monday with a Kevin Garnett-inspired message for hopeful Celtics fans ahead of one of the most anticipated Game 7s in NBA history.
Tatum’s Celtics, after falling into a 3–0 hole, kept their season alive on Saturday with a wild 104–103 Game 6 win for a third-straight victory over the Heat in the Eastern Conference finals. In doing so, Boston became the fourth team to force Game 7 down 3–0 and preserved a chance to make history as the first team to ever win a series facing those daunting odds.
With the Celtics closing in on an opportunity to achieve the impossible, Tatum appeared to gather some extra motivation from Garnett, which he channeled into his pre-game attire.
