Called it! This game reminded me of the 4th and final game against the Nets in the 2022 playoffs. They were tested
frequently but never faltered...

Thankfully it didn't turn out to be, but we played like idiots for a good stretch there. Tatum just hit a couple tough looks.

All JB in the 1st half but then Grant got stomped on and became the hero we needed.

That last Qtr, was the Saving Grace. Horford, I'd say. Grant for the Consolation Prize.

awww. deuce so cute, comes up and gives tatum a huge when his interview starts.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Tatum ripped their hearts out down the stretch. That's what we've been waiting for. Great win.

They actually kept their composure pretty well, especially when you consider they had to adjust late for injuries (Williams x 2) and Jaylen's foul trouble.
