Quotes

“Rebounding and individual defence," Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla said on Jayson Tatum’s individual defence and impact on the defensive glass. 

 

"There’s a ton of grace that you want to show, but once you step between those lines, there’s also non-negotiable that you’ve gotta do. 

 

"And you’ve gotta rebound, you’ve gotta defend, you’ve gotta compete, and he’s doing that.”
