While the match already seemed to be over, the Celtics ended up losing after a huge comeback from the Hawks this Monday. Following this terrible disillusionment, Jayson Tatum could not help but let his anger speak to the journalists.
This Monday, the Celtics had the opportunity to collect a 10th victory in a row. Unfortunately for them, the Hawks decided to end their series on the floor of State Farm Arena. However, the course of the match seemed to indicate that the Boston franchise was heading towards an easy success, but that was without counting on the self-sacrifice of their opponents, who achieved a 30-point comeback.
Currently 1st in the East, but also in the entire league, Jayson Tatum and his team have shown great seriousness during most of their meetings this season. Once is not usual, but this unexpected failure was enough to shake the superstar off his hinges. He therefore expressed his frustration at the end of this evening, as reported by the journalist from The Athletic Noah Dalzell.
Jayson Tatum furious after defeat
It’s difficult. You want to win every match you play. People think we should never have lost. We had a big lead. We screwed up our match, and we know it. We are all adults and professionals, and we know that we didn’t do what we needed to do to win. Sometimes it’s easier to fix it when you know you’re doing the right thing and playing the right way.

This is an observation which was obviously shared by Jaylen Brown, who was perhaps more measured in his comment.
We were 30 points ahead and we took our foot off the gas, which cost us dearly. Just take every possession, handle it the right way. I think we got a little slack, we got a little distracted, and it cost us dearly.
On the other hand, Kristaps Porzingis was surely the calmest of his teammates in his reaction
We did a good job tonight, and by not overreacting…that’s the NBA. This kind of thing happens. We don’t want to make a habit of it, and it hasn’t been a habit for us. We lost a match, we relaxed, and we paid the price…
Author of 37 points at 50% (13/26), 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 interceptions, Jayson Tatum delivered a good game. However, the Celtics’ clumsiness at 3 points with 28.9% success was not of much help during this burst of pride on the part of the Hawks. Joe Mazzulla’s men will, however, quickly have the opportunity to take revenge, since the two franchises will meet again this Thursday.
While the scenario of the match was largely in their favor, the Celtics let themselves be overcome by the Hawks to finally lose (118-120) this Monday. Jayson Tatum did not hide his frustration after this collective drop in concentration.
