Interesting from Jason Kidd: When KP was out, Jalen started. When Luka is out, JB is starting. Said all he wants is for Brunson to stay “in character.” – 8:40 PM

Tough end to the 2nd quarter there but two big baskets to get it down to 9. Tatum and Grant Williams have combined for 31 points… which is not a sentence I expected to type this season. – 8:33 PM

The stat that Mike Gorman was referencing on the broadcast: Schröder-5.19 seconds per touch. 2nd is Tatum (3.77). Udoka has a .5 rule but Schröder has misplaced the decimal point.
Average dribbles per touch: Schröder 4.5, Tatum 2.73, Smart 2.72. – 8:26 PM

OKC going under screens on Jalen Green, as the Celtics did the night he had 30. Will be interesting to see if Thunder change that up or if he can keep it up if they don’t. – 8:24 PM

Hawks have come out pretty well, but they need to tighten up ball security when they’re driving. Boston hasn’t hit a ton of shots, except off live TOs. – 7:56 PM

Tatum just got swarmed at the rim and he kicked it to Grant for a 3. That’s the aggressive Tatum the Celtics need to see. That’s hard work .. he drew a lot of contact there. Part of a quick 8-0 C’s answer to the Hawks run – 7:54 PM
