Jayson Tatum hasn't been his usual dominant self for the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals, but the superstar forward is not worried about his play and remains confident he can get out of his slump.
In fact, it seems Tatum is already aware of what he needs to do to recapture his form and break his poor streak of games that prevented the Celtics from totally destroying the Golden State Warriors.
Ahead of Monday's Game 5, Tatum shared that he needs to lessen hunting for fouls and “attack angles more instead of initiating contact and things like that,” per NBA insider Keith Smith.
Of course that is easier said than done, especially against a team like the Golden State Warriors who have been through it all in the NBA Finals. However, if there is one thing that Tatum has confidence in, it is in their ability to bounce back after a tough loss.
“I'm confident, like I have been all playoffs. Confident in the fact that we'll respond and play better,” Tatum added.
“All I care about is winning. If we win or don't win, you guys will do all your rankings or whatever. I'm just trying to impact winning at all costs.”
The Celtics and Warriors are now tied at 2-2 in the series, with Game 5 set in San Francisco where the Dubs will hope to finally take the lead for the first time.
Boston will certainly need Jayson Tatum to be more aggressive and take care of the ball better if they want any shot at winning. If not, they are facing the real threat of going behind and heading back to Beantown with the possibility of seeing the Warriors get crowned for the fourth time in eight years.
