The Celtics are the best in the world. The Celtics are the best in the world. The Celtics are the best in the world. The Celtics are the best in the world. It is a rituals let's do a t唱 this. Make cars free. EVERY FunnyWHICcia Degie Z fast you down when you start trying to find and hunt matchups, but we hunted the matchup, got the matchup we wanted, whether it was Niles Reed on Jason Tatum, whether it was Carlton Downs on Jason Tatum when he went to the basket and finished with the left hand. And I thought they just did a really good job with their spacing offensively, but more importantly, I thought they really buckled down defensively, made it tough, especially in overtime, rebounded the basketball and they didn't give too many clean looks for those guys. And speaking of overtime, it was all about Jason Tatum in OT. Let's take a look at how it went down for Jason Tatum in overtime. It started with that dunk to tie it at 114, a piece, take a look at this right here. Jason Tatum just going to work, going up, throws it down at the basket. A little frustrated right there with some of the calls. Next one drives, breaks the tie on this plate right here. And this is Jason Tatum just taking over in overtime for this Celtic team. And then of course, Drew Holiday with the defense, turning it into offense against the ball over the Jason Tatum. Yet again, the superstar makes it three. And you saw at the beginning of the show, kids, good night, the meme of face right there. That's how you know Eddie. He was engaged in this matchup, especially in overtime, 26 of his 45 points came in the fourth quarter and overtime play. What was the best thing that Jason Tatum was able to do to push the Celtic team to a win? Just scoring and being aggressive. And it was a couple plays where he was aggressive, where he did make the right play. I think we ended up who was that? Was it Drew Holiday with a shot in the corner off of a pass that he made and then it was a hockey pass, actually, that he made. But the fact of the matter is understanding the assignment, the assignment was, hey, man, this is the best team. And you're the best team in the league. It's the second best team in the league. Y'all the best defensive team. Anthony Edwards, Emerging Superstar, not on my watch, not here at home. We're going to take care of this. And we're going to make it. Are they made history on your birthday? They made history on my birthday. See, now it just all comes together. I asked for a win and then they deliver even more. Speaking of Jason Tatum, he's with Abby Chin after this win. Jason, you let a 90 run to tie the game in regulation. Then scored 12 points in overtime to seal the win. What comes over you in winning time? What are you seeing? What are you feeling? What are you thinking? Man, just when you're just getting that moment, you lift for those moments, you want to do whatever you can to help your team win. And back up my mind, I ain't going to lose it home yet. We still undefeated. The crowd got behind us, the energy got going. So that was a fun ball game towards them. This is now the longest winning streak at home to open a season in Celtics franchise history. To what level? Yeah. Did you guys go too defensively in that OT? I think we just planned sluggish in the first half. Even though we was winning by one or the start, we didn't like the way we planned. We had to pick up the intensity. We just started getting stopped and then lost in. And you know, offence, all the pickups. This was a hard fought physical game against the number two team in the NBA. Joe talks about lessons all the time. What did you learn about your team here tonight? I learned a lot. I mean, I know that we're a really good team and it's a lot that we can work on. But you know, we played the right way on both ends of the floor. It's pretty tough to beat. No question about it. Jason, thank you. Congrats. Thank you. A Scal doing us live from the inside of TD Gunning. Her Jason Tate on right there with Abby. He said he did not want to lose at home inside of TD Garden. 18 win straight. Scal, how did Jason Tate him take over this game for the Celtics? It was amazing. What? The shot was big. The mean mug and the kiss and everything like that. But if you watch that bucket on call Anthony Towns, where he gets fouled, he goes right. He crossed over, crossed over, ends up going up and strong with the left hand. That's when you can tell. There's a lot of good players out here tonight. But this one particular player was on a different level and he took over. He took over Laney, made big shots and he still shared the ball and got his teammates involved. So I just, you see Jason Tate him play every single day. But now when you watch him take that step up to another level, you're still amazed by his abilities. I want to give a shout out to the fan, right? We know what Jason Tate him did. We know how Jaylen Brown play and what they did to come back and win this game in overtime. But let's give a shout out to the fans because they understood what was on the line. They were about to be a part of history and the way that that fan base got behind them as they were making that run. When Jason Tate him hit that shot and I was telling you a minute this off, Ken, when he hit that shot and I watched the replay, I got goosebumps because I understand I know what it sounds like. I know that feeling that you get and you only can get it when you're doing that type of stuff right there. But for them to rally behind this team and not get down and and just shows that we do have the best fans. So I want to shout out to them because they get some credit for this win as well. And let's just go back to that home streak as well. 18 straight at home. Scott, what does it say about how dominant this selfless team is inside of TD guards? To me, this whole thing is about addressing your your faults, your flaws. Last year in the playoffs, this team had a lot of flaws at home. You're supposed to win your home game. You're supposed to try to get on the road and steal one. They struggled at home. So whatever Joe Mazzula, the staff, the players say, Hey, man, we're going to be a different team in this building. We're not going to just going to show up and expect a crowd to get us through it. We got to make things happen. We got to establish a home dominance. These these people here that come to watch, you know, like you never know if a kid's here for only one time all year, they deserve to see their favorite team win. So I like the fact that last year with a problem in this building, we lost game seven to the Miami Heat. Well, a lot of games in this building. I like that they addressed that and they're taking it upon themselves to I'm sure they're thinking 41 and 0 at in this building and it's one game at a time. But I like that they're taking this streak and they're and they're addressing it.
