Jayson Tatum is just happy to force a Game 7 against the Milwaukee Bucks. After all, the Boston Celtics will be back home at TD Garden for the crucial showdown.
Sure enough, Tatum and the Celtics couldn't wish for a better venue than their home floor in their attempt to knock out the defending champions and secure a ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Boston forward knows that very well, as he expects the Beantown crowd to rally behind them come the do-or-die game.
“The best atmosphere in the NBA,” Tatum said of Game 7 in Boston, per NBA insider Keith Smith.
The Celtics leader, of course, is not falling short in confidence ahead of the next match. After all, he's coming off a 46-point explosion in Game 6 while his teammates like Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart also stepped up big time.
“We are as close and as tough as I knew we were…I'll take us any day,” Jayson Tatum added.
Boston and its players are certainly happy to have homecourt advantage now. Besides, it's a chance for them to be in front of their home fans and give them a treat with a huge win. Nonetheless, the Celtics know very well it won't be easy–not with the fact that they have only won just once at home. For their part, Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks have already secured two victories on the road.
While nothing is set in stone, one thing is clear: there will be plenty of fireworks come Sunday.
