After the loss, Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum, who finished with a team-high 36 points spoke to the media and offered an honest take on the players getting booed off the floor by their own fans
"You know, we’ve got booed before. So it’s not anything new, weird to say, but we’ve been in that position before and, you know, we didn’t play well. Fans could see it.”
The Celtics travel to Philadelphia for the all-important Game 6 on Thursday night.
