PHILADELPHIA -- Boston Celtics rookie Jayson Tatum said his trash talk towards Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid after a near poster dunk in Game 3 was all in good fun.
Embiid scrambled to foul Tatum as he tried to complete a tomahawk dunk in the fourth quarter of Boston's overtime win on Saturday night at Wells Fargo Center. Walking to the free throw line, Tatum could be heard on the broadcast twice telling Embiid, "You got lucky."
During Boston's offday practice Sunday on the campus of Temple University, Tatum laughed off the trash talk and detailed his relationship with Embiid while recounting the play.
