Joe Mazzulla on Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown vs. Cavaliers

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown combined for 57 points in the Celtics’ win over the Cavaliers (117-113). According to Boston’s head coach Joe Mazzulla, both players took what the opposing defense gave them.

“He took what the defense gave him, he aggressive and he got into the paint, he made the right play. He did that,” Mazzulla said about Tatum who scored team-high 41 points.

“I thought Jaylen did a great job with the same thing. I though Jaylen really controlled the pace of the game when he had the ball for us.

“When those two guys are locked in on taking what the defense gives the and making the right play, we’re a great team.”
