The Boston Celtics scored a huge win on Tuesday night to tie their second-round series against the Milwaukee Bucks at 1-1. Jayson Tatum had another big performance as he led the Celtics to an impressive 109-86 blowout victory over Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co.

After the game, Tatum pointed out one major factor that helped Boston take Game 2. According to the Celtics star, it was all about ball movement for his team:

“You pass up a good shot to get a great shot,” Tatum said (h/t NBA on Twitter). “They're a really good team, so the first action may not work, not even the second one. We just usually got to keep moving the ball, keep driving it, until you get the best shot possible. That's what we do.”
