Tatum destroys 76ers, but reveals frustration in Celtics victory

Jayson Tatum destroyed the 76ersscored more points for the Celtics than the rivals in the fourth period and even so he left dissatisfied with his performance. The star vented about his bad start in the match and assured that he expected more from himself during the decisive match valid for the playoffs of the NBA. Even irritated by his play, he did his part in the last period and contributed to Boston’s survival.

To give you an idea, until the last period, he had hit just one shot of 13. However, then he added three more three-point baskets and another four two-pointers, which earned him 17 points in a short period of time. In the fourth half of the game, the 76ers made just 13, and Tatum came out as the protagonist. Still, he wasn’t too happy:

Honestly, it was frustrating. I so wanted to win. I wanted to play so well. And the pitches weren’t falling, things just weren’t necessarily going the way I had envisioned. I so wanted…“, he stated.

During the game, Tatum didn’t hide that he was a little frustrated with his missed baskets, but he demonstrated a strong mentality to help the Celtics: “Things weren’t going my way and you have to be the same person. I tried to have the same morals, the same character when things are going well. I just kept telling myself I believe in myself until it changed“.

In addition, Tatum designed game seven for the Celtics against the 76ers and stressed that he expects an improvement and that mistakes cannot happen again: “I hope it’s a one time thing. I hope I start better, but if that’s what it takes for us to win, I’ll do what’s best to redeem us in front of our home crowd.“.
