Jayson Tatum just led the Boston Celtics to an incredible 109-103 win over the Brooklyn Nets on their own home floor. The Celtics are now just one win away from advancing to the next round and in the process, hand Kevin Durant and Co. an early summer vacation.

Tatum is not resting on his laurels one bit, though. After the game, the Celtics channeled his Mamba Mentality as he shared what he intends to do after their huge win on Saturday night:

Jayson Tatum in the postgame on-court interview about what Boston needs to do to close out the series: “Get some rest. Watch film. Correct some things. Hope we can play better and get it done.”

If the Los Angeles Lakers icon were alive today, I'm certain that this would be the message he would like to instill in Tatum and the Celtics.
