A couple of takeaways from the last minute of last night's game.

1. Down 2, 89-91 with a minute to go, the Celtics converted 3 more FG's, all of which were assisted and all assisted by different guys. Brown to Tatum, Tatum to Hayward, Horford to Tatum. That's incredible teamwork in a tight situation.
2. Tatum was involved in all 3 baskets and even made a free throw on an and-1. Aggressive Tatum is the Tatum we need.
3. You'll notice Kyrie absent from the description of those last 3 baskets. Kyrie doesn't't get credit for other guys playing great. But... Take a look at how scared Indy defenders are of Kyrie on those final two baskets. He played great all night and made the right plays (almost had an assist to Tatum but Tatum found the better shot) when it mattered. Anyone who still claims Kyrie is a selfish ballhog can eat my butt.
To add just a bit more detail:
1. Horford block, Jaylen drives to the rim in transition, draws 2 defenders including Turner who was covering Tatum, then passes crosscourt to Tatum for the open 3
2. Kyrie gets a screen from JT at the top of the 3 point line, draws 2 defenders, passes to Tatum, who drives to the basket to draw 2 defenders including Collison who was covering Hayward, then passes to Gordon for the open layup
3. Tatum inbounds to Hayward, who quickly passes to Al, who quickly passes to a cutting Tatum for the dunk and-1.
That's ball movement from multiple players and unselfish play and certainly nobody was overdribbing the ball.
