Jaylen Brown (Boston Celtics fullback, after the loss against the Miami Heat 102-128): “I don’t even know where to start… It’s an obvious disappointment. I feel like we let down our franchise and all of our fans. We let ourselves down, it was a collective bankruptcy. We could all point fingers at each other, it was just awkward.
I think Miami played very well. They fired shots, we didn’t. It put pressure on us, and it was difficult after that. They came out, they were together, they were physical, they set the tone, and we didn’t live up to their energy. It was a total disappointment to be honest. »
Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics winger): “I think even if it’s difficult, like tonight, we have to try to move on. You have to prepare, train and be ready for tomorrow. It is obvious that we are in a difficult position, but we must be proud, bounce back and be better on Tuesday.
From the start of the match, we lost a lot of balls. We didn’t shoot well. They shot very well. I really had this feeling of helplessness, honestly. It’s all of our fault. We didn’t play well at all. Obviously, the score showed it. »
