Jayson Tatum After Win Over Los Angeles Clippers: 'We've Been Playing the Right Way'
On Saturday, the Boston Celtics picked up a 145-108 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. Prior to the lopsided contest, Los Angeles won nine of their last ten games.
Jayson Tatum totaled a game-high 30 points. After a victory where him, Jaylen Brown, and Jrue Holiday combined for 74 points, the four-time All-Star praised his team's offensive approach.
"We've been playing the right way... It's hard to guard [us] one on one. We create a lot of problems," voiced Tatum.
In addition to Tatum, teammates Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, Neemias Queta, and Oshae Brissett scored in double-figures. Likewise, six Celtics players scored ten-plus points in their recent 144-119 win against the Sacramento Kings.
Tatum also commented on the caliber of Boston's opponent on Saturday. Despite their early season struggles, the Clippers have ascended to the fifth seed in the Western Conference. They currently rank in the top ten for offensive and defensive rating.
“This is a really, really talented team," stated the three-time All-NBA selection. "They’ve got four future Hall of Famers."
Boston's next game is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 25, against the Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com Arena; tip-off is at 5:00 p.m. EST.
