Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum says the team has to improve their late game execution vs. the Miami Heat.

(via Boston Celtics):

Reporter: “When you look at these first two games of the series, especially the way they have gone in the fourth quarter, what has been the biggest difference?”

Tatum: “I think part of it is us, you know, we’ve got to execute better. We’ve had double-digit leads in both games, and a turnover has changed the momentum, or offensive rebounds led to a three has changed the momentum. So those plays right when we’re up 12, when we could go up 15, 16, they go back down, they go on an 8-0 run and now it’s at 4, and now the momentum has shifted. So we’ve been up, and we’ve got to do a better job of making those I would call them winning plays in those situations.”
