Great to see Tatum made the leap, I haven’t been able to stand Boston for years and this changes my perception of him. It was so painful watching him try to “be the hero” the press or tradition say “the guy” on a winning team has to be which has him jacking up so many shots even when it wasn’t working. Reminds me of the pivot Kobe made when the Lakers got Pau that allowed them to win in 08–he couldn’t just keep chucking and playing hero ball.
Fantastic question from the press member, really bottled up probably years of Tatum life and frustrations and efforts and allowed him to open up on it. Note for other reporters; that’s how you get a real answer; know what you’re talking about in the first place, ask with respect and give space for a real answer.

I thought Tatum showed a lot of maturity by not getting frustrated despite having a bad shooting night.

Yeah he was able to still have a good impact (12 Ast) even when his shot wasn’t falling which is worrying for the Mavs.
