“The only thing that matters to me is winning a championship,” Jayson Tatum said Saturday. 'Not MVP, not first-team All-NBA, none of that. I want to get back to the Finals and get over the hump.”
After a rough patch that saw the Celtics fumble away a trio of double-digit leads over a 96-hour span, Tatum took pride in finding a way to close out the Hawks to start a six-game, 13-day road trip.
Tatum, who got a rare offday last week, was highly efficient in his return against Portland right before this trip. He wants to play in as many games as possible over the final four weeks of the regular season. But he also knows that team brass will plead with him to find some rest days. When asked if he has to push back when the Celtics want him to rest, Tatum smiled and offered, “Yeah, all the time.”
Tatum continues to shine this season while going head-to-head with other top scorers. He dominated the early portion of Saturday’s win in Atlanta while the Celtics built a double-digit lead then fended off a late charge from Trae Young and the Hawks."He's just a guy who makes the right play 99 percent of the time,” said Griffin. “And that one time, the 1 percent he doesn’t, well we’d rather him take that shot. So I don't really have to say much.
