Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich greets the Boston Celtics’ Derrick White at the end of the game on Saturday at AT&T Center.Derrick White wasn’t surprised at how well his former team played Saturday night despite being without its top three players.
“Great game, couldn’t be more proud of them,” Popovich said. “Jayson did it at the end of the game, got us. But taking care of the ball, rebounding, playing with effort, I couldn’t be more proud of our guys. A great game for them to be participating in and to play the way they did. Lots of great contributions from everybody.Tatum’s 14-foot step-back jumper on an assist from White put Boston ahead for good at 118-116 with 33.7 seconds left.
“We don’t necessarily have a lot of success coming in here,” Tatum said. “So, regardless of who they have, who’s out there, their record, getting a win here meant a lot to all of us.”“They are an extremely well-coached team,” Tatum said. “Kind of playing carefree, the pace that they play at. They don’t necessarily have an agenda, just pass, cut and try to get the best shot. Constant movement.”
The Spurs had a season-best eight players score in double figures, with Zach Collins, Tre Jones and Josh Richardson each finishing with 18. Here are three takeaways from the Spurs’ last game at the AT&T Center until they face Sacramento on Jan. 15 after two games at Memphis and a game at the Alamodome on Friday against Golden State:With Poeltl out with what the Spurs called Achilles bursitis, Collins made the most of his seventh start of the season and the 23rd of his career by matching his career high for scoring.
Collins finished 8 of 13 from the field against Boston. He also had 12 rebounds for his second career double-double.
