Jayson Tatumhas performed one of his best seasons with the weight of winning his first championship for the Celtics lifted off his shoulders.
The wins keep coming, with the C's defeating the Orlando Magic Tuesday night.
What he's saying: "So obviously the goal is still the same this year to win and compete for a championship, but I've just enjoyed this season of playing carefree basketball and not having that hang over my head," he said, per MassLive.
"It's been fun to do and just a sense of freedom. I've just carried the season with that."
