Great response by Jayson Tatum to @Jared Weiss’s question about finding other ways to score on a night when he was 3 for 12 from 3:

Tatum called the 3 he missed before his put-back “a bullshit ass shot” but said you’re always taught to crash late in the game in that game. – 10:37 PM
Jared Weiss
@JaredWeissNBA
Jayson Tatum describes his clutch tip in: “I shot a bullshit ass shot, Smart got the rebound. It was late clock, so I knew he had to throw it up there. You’re always taught as a kid that last second shot, attack the glass, you never know what can happen.” – 10:36 PM

Jaylen Brown says he has to wear the mask for 4-6 weeks, but a week already elapsed on that timeline during the break. Said he felt protected and didn’t have to shy away from contact, though it’s a big adjustment losing a lot of peripheral vision while it’s on & it getting hot. – 10:29 PM

Final: Sixers 110, Grizzlies 105.
Joel Embiid went 7-25 but finishes with 27-19-6-6, & James Harden had 31-7-7 for the Sixers, who host the Celtics Saturday.
Desmond Bane led Memphis with 25 points – 19 of which came in the first quarter. Ja Morant had 15-5 but went 3-16. – 10:16 PM
Gina Mizell
@ginamizell
FINAL: Sixers 110, Grizzlies 105. Sixers somehow claw back to win this one in perhaps their most improbable victory of the season. Embiid 27-19-6. Harden 31-7-7. Harris 20 points and two huge 3s down the stretch.
Up next: Saturday vs. Boston on ABC. – 10:15 PM

What a game. As good as it gets. Celtics beat the Pacers 142-138 in overtime behind 31 from Tatum and 30 from Brown. Turner had 40 for the Pacers, and Haliburton had 22 and 14 assists. Just not enough defense or rebounding for the Pacers tonight. – 9:39 PM

Pacers have been playing from behind down the stretch. Always having to match the Celtics and unable to distanced themselves.
Tatum + Brown with a combined 61pts and 23 rebounds. Then Brogdon has 24pts off the bench. – 9:37 PM

That should do it. Two more #Celtics OREB and a four point lead with 10 seconds to play. – 9:36 PM
Adam Himmelsbach

Tatum air-balls a potential dagger 3, Smart misses a putback just before the shot-clock buzzer, and Tatum soars in for the successful putback.
Celtics have owned the offensive glass all night. – 9:36 PM

Tatum has 31 points on 9 of 25 shooting, but he has 12 rebounds. – 9:36 PM

Tatum saves loose ball under his own hoop right to Aaron Nesmith, who turns out no longer is his teammate. Smart fouls him from behind for the and one. Tie ballgame. What a wild return from the All-Star break. – 9:31 PM
Scott Agness
@ScottAgness
Tatum knows better. NEVER save the ball on the opponent’s baseline. Leads to an easy layup for Nesmith — and-1.

The Pacers have one of the best arenas in the NBA because:
1.) The natural lighting from the windows.
2.) They are on point with the slomo replays every time there’s a questionable call against the Pacers.
3.) The Jumbotron is like 5 miles wide. – 9:27 PM

Celtics with some sloppy execution down the stretch. Tatum misses a layup and then Tatum and Jaylen turn it over. But Smart plays good D on Haliburton, whose potential game-winner hits back rim.
Overtime. – 9:20 PM

@ScottAgness
This one is going to OT. Brown threw it out of bounds, then Haliburton missed a contested 3 at the end of regulation. With the Pacers having momentum, Carlisle didn’t want to slow things by using his final timeout.

You can see Tatum read the coverage on the first screen, so he stays in his spot and waits for Smart to come over again with the ghost screen. Wants to ensure he engages both defenders on the blitz so the whole play works. – 9:18 PM

Carlisle on Brogdon: “I think Malcolm is a tremendous player. He’s one of a very small group of guys in this league who can do just about anything on a basketball court. You look at Jimmy Butler, Jrue Holiday, Malcolm. These are guys who can play multiple positions…” – 5:22 PM

Lakeland plays road games against the Cleveland Charge tomorrow and Saturday.
I’d imagine Caleb and Kevon will remain with Lakeland at least through Saturday’s game and won’t be available for Orlando’s Saturday home game vs. the Pacers. – 11:38 AM

The Pacers have enough of their core young players already getting rotation minutes that they don’t see the pursuit of wins taking much away from development, and they still see postseason basketball as an achievable goal: indystar.com/story/sports/n… – 9:10 AM
