Rockets 85, Celtics 80 after 3. Tatum with 13 of his 22 in third. Celtics going to the rim on most possessions. Smith with 23, his third consecutive 20-point double-double. Had one all season. Rockets just 3 TOs since 1st quarter, have outscored Boston, 18-12 off turnovers. – 9:47 PM

No player in the NBA has scored more points this season than Jayson Tatum (1,915).
He’s one of only two players to average 30.0 ppg with less than 3.0 turnovers (SGA).
@DKSportsbook has JT at -135 to score over 29.5 points tonight. He dropped 38 last game against the #Rockets. – 3:40 PM

Stoudamire had a profound impact on this group, particularly on Marcus Smart, who he spoke plainly to and emphasized erasing some of the reckless plays from his game. My interview with him from October:

“Great opportunity, but at the same time, too humble…I’ve sat in this seat. So I understand what comes with it … the most that I took it in was at the end,” Stoudamire said after coaching the Celtics to a win earlier this season. “We collectively, as a group, do a great job.” – 2:58 PM

#Celtics have lost Ime Udoka, Will Hardy and Damon Stoudamire in less than one year from their #NBAFinals run. Would expect Ben Sullivan to become lead asst. while Aaron Miles, DJ Macleay, Ime hires, and Tony Dobbins (from the Stevens era) remain. Big story going forward. – 2:29 PM
