Jayson Tatum says Celtics are ready for playoffs

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum believes his team is reaching the level necessary to have a long and successful run in the playoffs.

“I think we’re ready,” Jayson Tatum said following Tuesday night’s win, during which he poured in a game-high 29 points on an efficient 10-of-13 shooting from the field. “Obviously we need to continue to get better, and I think we have from Game 1 being down here to now. I think we just continue to get better each and every game, and that’s what you want this time of the year is to continue to get better at the right time of the season.”

The former Duke forward averaged 25.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.4 assist per game in his team’s 5 victories in the Orlando ‘bubble’.
