Jayson Tatum on when he decided to chase Larry Bird to become the best Celtic ever:
“Once you win a championship, it’s like alright, you can be in those rooms with the Celtics legends. But it doesn’t just stop at one. You’ve obviously got to win multiple, and that’s what we’re trying to do.
“And I always wanted to be the best. And he’s, in my opinion, the best Celtic ever, and he did it the right way, and he’s a great guy to chase in a sense.”

Joe Mazzulla on if he’s seen anything different in Tatum’s approach to the game:
“The honest answer is that he’s been doing this for a long time. People just take advantage of him, take it for granted. It's an easy way to use him as a headline when it's going well. He’s been doing this for years, but he obviously has continued to get better.”
Double-digit road wins for the Celtics and Cavs Thursday.
Only one team in NBA history has ever recorded a double-digit differential on the road. The Celtics are now there with over 70% of the road schedule behind them.
