Jayson Tatum gives honest view on facing Sixers in Game 7
Jayson Tatum didn't view facing the Sixers for a Game 7 as a bummer, instead focusing on the task at hand.
The Celtics had two chances already to end the Sixers’ season, going up 3-1 for a commanding series lead. But instead, the 76ers rallied to win two straight games, including a blowout Game 6 victory in Philadelphia on Thursday. That sets up a winner-take-all Game 7, set for 7:30 p.
m. Saturday at TD Garden . While some might view the C’s squandering the series lead as unfortunate, Jayson Tatum didn’t necessarily view it that way as he gave an honest view of the situation.
“You can’t wish for it to be over any sooner than it is going to be,” Tatum said. “I’ve played 130-some-odd playoff games. And bummed to say it’s going to Game 7 — no, I’m not bummed.
I was out for 50 weeks. I wasn’t able to play basketball. So I get another opportunity to play the game that I love.
