‘Hang it in the [expletive] Louvre’: What Celtics players said of Jayson Tatum’s behind-the-back pass in Game 3 win vs. Pacers

Jayson Tatum scored a game-high 36 points in the Celtics’ comeback 114-111 comeback win over the Pacers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals, but his biggest play of the game was one of his eight assists.

As the Celtics trailed by five with under 1:20 remaining, Tatum got a pass from Derrick White on the wing after receiving a screen from Al Horford. The screen allowed Tatum to get to the rim with little resistance, but Aaron Nesmith was on his tail. Myles Turner, who was covering Horford, decided to crash the rim when Tatum drove to the bucket.
