Jayson Tatum's Very Honest Quote After Celtics Beat Heat

Jayson Tatum met with the media after the Boston Celtics won Game 6.

On Saturday evening, the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics played arguably the most thrilling game of the 2023 NBA Playoffs. 

The Celtics were able to win on the road by a score of 104-103 due to a buzzer-beater by Derrick White.  

With the victory, the Celtics stay alive in the series and it's now 3-3 with Game 7 back in Boston on Monday night. 

Jayson Tatum played 44 minutes and had 31 points, 12 rebounds, five assists, one steal and two blocks on 8/22 shooting from the field and 0/8 from the three-point range. 

After the big win, Tatum met with the media and shared a very honest quote about how wild the game was. 

Tatum: "I'm still like in disbelief. That s*** was crazy. But I'm glad we got another chance, another opportunity."

The Celtics are the second seed in the Eastern Conference and have defeated the Atlanta Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers through the first two rounds.

They lost the first three games against the Heat but have now won each of the last three.

If the Celtics are able to pull off a win in Game 7, they will complete the most remarkable comeback in the history of the NBA Playoffs (no team has ever overcome a 3-0 deficit).

While the Celtics are in the Conference Finals for the fifth time in the previous seven seasons, they have yet to win an NBA Championship since the 2008 season.

The winner of the series will face off against the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals.
