Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum says ‘we didn’t accomplish anything’, despite Game 6 victory

After the thrilling win in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals, Jayson Tatum clarifies that the Celtics haven't accomplished anything yet and remain focused on finishing the job.

Agencies
In a heart-stopping finish at Kaseya Center on Saturday night, the Boston Celtics managed to keep their NBA championship aspirations alive with a last-second victory in Game 6. Despite the Miami Heat erasing a double-digit lead in the final minutes, Derrick White's decisive put-back at the buzzer saved the Celtics from a catastrophic collapse.

While the Celtics fans celebrated in the jubilation of forcing a Game 7, the players were quick to recognize that the task is far from complete. Speaking to reporters, Jayson Tatum made it clear that there was no time for celebration as they hadn't achieved anything significant yet. He acknowledged the importance of the remarkable win and expressed pride in the team's performance and resilience.

However, Tatum stressed that their focus remains unwavering and they are fully aware of the challenges ahead. Recognizing the strength of the Miami Heat as a formidable and well-coached team, Tatum emphasized the need for readiness in the upcoming game. Both teams have an intense desire to secure victory, and the players are leaving no stone unturned, exerting maximum effort on both ends of the court.


While an NBA Finals berth provides ample motivation, the Celtics also have the opportunity to etch their names in the league's history books. If Tatum and his teammates emerge triumphant at TD Garden, they will become the first team in NBA history to overcome a 3-0 deficit and win a playoff series, adding an extra layer of determination to their performance on Monday.
