Jayson Tatum spoke to reporters after the game. Speaking about the team’s starting fifth position, he said: “At some point, everyone has to sacrifice. Essentially, we probably have six starting level players, so of those six, anyone could come off the bench on any given night. All of us should understand that no matter who starts or comes off the bench today, it’s for the good of the team. We have to believe that. It’s not easy to make sacrifices, but we have to. Like tonight, Horford came off the bench. I have great respect for him.”
