We have Jayson Tatum here to provide insights into the game and discuss the team’s performance. Without further ado, let’s hear from Jayson Tatum.

Reporter: Jayson, tough loss tonight against the Cavaliers. What do you think went wrong for the team, and how do you plan to bounce back?

Jayson Tatum: Yeah, it was a challenging game for us. Credit to the Cavaliers; they played a great game. We struggled defensively, especially in the paint, and had some lapses that they capitalized on. We need to regroup, watch the film, and identify areas where we can improve. Every loss is an opportunity to learn, and we’ll use this to come back stronger in the next game.

Reporter: Jayson, you had a solid individual performance tonight, but the team fell short. How do you balance personal achievements with the overall team goals?

Jayson Tatum: It’s always tough when you don’t come out on top as a team. Individual performances are secondary to the collective success of the Celtics. I try to contribute in any way I can, whether it’s scoring, rebounding, or facilitating. But at the end of the day, it’s about getting the win for Boston. We’ll continue working together to make sure we’re on the right track.

Reporter: The Cavaliers seemed to capitalize on turnovers tonight. How do you address ball security moving forward?

Jayson Tatum: Turnovers were definitely a factor tonight, and it’s an area we need to address. We’ll focus on tightening up our ball security in practice, emphasizing better decision-making and communication on the court. It’s a collective effort, and we’ll make the necessary adjustments to ensure we limit those mistakes going forward.

Reporter: Jayson, looking ahead to the next game, what adjustments do you think the team needs to make to secure a win?

Jayson Tatum: We need to lock in defensively and communicate better as a unit. Additionally, executing our offensive sets with precision and taking care of the ball will be key. Every game presents a new challenge, and we’ll approach the next one with a positive mindset, ready to make the adjustments needed to come out on top.

Thank you, Jayson, for sharing your thoughts on tonight’s game. We appreciate your time and insights. To the media, thank you for joining us, and we look forward to the Celtics’ continued efforts in the upcoming games.
