Jayson Tatum: Last Year We Were So Antsy to Get Back to Finals | Celtics vs Hornets Postgame

Important was just to finish this long trip off uh with a win just be able to you know just go home feeling good about yourselves uh very important um forward to on the road trip hindsight not too bad uh and like you said the last game

On a 12 13 Day Road Trip can be the toughest uh cuz we already go home to see our families um so it’s good to get this one was it like uh another full game against Grant I know I saw you guys out talking a lot to each other it was

Good uh my brother for Life uh so always good to see him good to compete against them um so yeah just you know having fun out there um competing against each other and what did you guys learn about yourselves in this trip the two losses in Atlanta you guys were able to respond

With the last two wins what did you guys learn and what you guys need to work on the last seven games um you know we in a unique position right that best record in the league got home court advantage all those things first place um and I think for most of this road

Trip uh we we’ve been playing against teams that fighting for playoff position play in spots except you know for the team tonight um and just understanding that it’s it’s not always going to go the way we expected to and um you know how are we going to respond you know um

If we lose the first game in round one right um how are we going to respond so just going through um each game just brought something different out of us and um it it was good it was good for us to go through that um what do you what

Do you like you like coming coming here and playing you like it’s obviously partisan crowd what do you like about playing North Carolina and it seems like this is one of your favorite places you know it is is definitely one of my favorite um places to come obviously I

Spent the year in the state um at Duke so I got a lot of connections obviously in Durham but you know I know people in Raleigh Greensboro um Charlotte uh damn where my man from where’s Wake Forest at Winston Salem I know people in Winston Salem um so and you know early

In my career every time we would come back I would go go back to Duke and see the team cuz I still have my teammates out there that I was in school with um so it’s just a lot of love obviously Duke fans um and it’s it’s like part of my my

Story right so I kind of feel like a little bit at home when I come to North Carolina uh so it’s always a special place for me J Jason going off that uh Blue Devils Squad took a tough loss this past weekend do you keep in contact with

Any of the the current players there uh yeah I talked to players from time to time uh worked out with Jeremy roaches past summer um every off season I try to go to Durham work out with the team for a day or so um you know still very close

With all the coaches uh you know that’s that’s my family over there you guys are 112 in your last 13 games here obviously striding going towards the postseason just you guys feel like you’re chilling at the right time here ready to GE up the playoffs absolutely try to stay healthy uh you

Know use these last couple games and some things that we can work on and um different situations we might be in to use um come playoff time and also just where you’re at this year is obviously a little different where you at last year just what do you think is the biggest

Difference though like trying to close out this regular season strong going to the CL I think last year uh we were like so ansy to just get back to the finals uh that we had a few bad losses in the last you know few weeks of the Season we

Went to six games in that first round um that you know we didn’t uh we kind of we may have took some things for granted right and and this year we’ve done a really good job of not skipping steps and respecting every every game every day just trying

To get better uh as cliche as that sounds

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Jayson Tatum led the way with 25 points and 10 rebounds, while Sam Hauser added 25 points on seven 3-pointers, as the Boston Celtics secured 118-104 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night. Reflecting on the team’s approach, Jayson Tatum said, “I think last year, we were so antsy to get back to the Finals…We may have taken some things for granted. And this year, we’ve done a really good job of not skipping steps and respecting every game, every day, just trying to get better.”
