Great teams have great teammates.
While the Boston Celtics are in pursuit of greatness this year, the chemistry and cohesion of this group is multiplying through each hard-fought victory. Wednesday night’s comeback effort against the Brooklyn Nets served as a fortifying moment for this team’s camaraderie while also propelling the Celtics to a 2-0 series lead.
Part of being a great teammate is recognizing when those around you need to be lifted. There’s no doubt that Jayson Tatum had a rough night, in particular a rough start. While he did finish with a 19 point, 10 assist double-double, his shooting was cold early and he looked a little bit drained with his energy.
