The Warriors, however, stood up to the test of character as they gave the Conference leaders a thumping sixth defeat of the season. The Dubs won 123-107 against the Celtics and the Celtics superstar had a few things to say about the loss. Jayson Tatum, who is the team’s top scorer wanted to give his few cents about the game.

Tonight was probably more meaningful to you guys than it was to us,” said Tatum. He further added, “It’s one game. We want to win every game we play but it’s tough. You never want to lose. We’ve been playing well and to lose this one, — especially the way we played is tough — but it’s not going to dictate our season. We’ve had a great season so far and we lost the game. It’s all about how we respond.” 

The 24-year-old superstar understood the condition of the Dubs and stated that it was an important win for them. The loss wouldn’t matter to the green jerseys as they have till now performed consistently throughout the season.
