Jayson Tatum's Amazing Quote About Blake Griffin
On Saturday night, the Boston Celtics beat the Atlanta Hawks 134-125 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
Jayson Tatum led the way with 34 points, 15 rebounds, six assists and one block in 35 minutes of playing time.
After the game, he spoke highly of his teammate Blake Griffin, who finished the night with eight points, five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 15 minutes.
Tatum: "I give Blake a lot of credit. A guy that was a superstar in this league, multiple All-Stars, All-NBA, was really at the top. Whether it's through injuries or whatever, has really taken on a different role. It's been really unique to see just his attitude every day. Doesn't play for two weeks, certain guys out, he might play four, five games in a row. Takes the first bus, on off days, he plays pickup with the guys that maybe don't play. Gotta keep their cardio up. You just don't see that with guys that was at his level. It's been really unique to see. I appreciate that a lot, the guys do as well, never makes it about himself, and it's contagious. His energy, his enthusiasm, his personality, we're all very fortunate to have him as a teammate. Everybody respects him, respects what he's accomplished and his voice carries. Somebody that is always going to be ready whenever his number is called."
With the victory, the Celtics improved to 47-21 in 68 games, which has them as the second seed in the Eastern Conference.
They will continue their road trip on Monday night when they visit the Houston Rockets in Texas.
