By now, you know the story. In Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Celtics forward Jayson Tatum made just 1-of-14 shots in the game’s first 44 minutes with the Celtics facing elimination from the postseason at the hands of the longtime rival Philadelphia 76ers. And then, incredibly, Tatum caught fire and shot the Celtics to a 95-86 win that will bring the teams to a Game 7 of Sunday in Boston.

After the victory, Tatum went to the interview room and took questions from the media, then followed his historic performance – bad and good – with the most memorable moment of the postgame.

Boston and Philadelphia, of course, will play a winner-take-all Game 7 this weekend for the right to face the winner of Miami and New York in the Eastern Conference finals. The winner will advance to the NBA Finals for the chance to play for the 2023 NBA championship.
