The Boston Celtics were handed a stunning loss on Friday night, falling by 38 points to the Dallas Mavericks in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
As embarrassing as that defeat was, the Celtics still hold a 3-1 lead in the series and are favorites to win the championship.
The good news for the Celtics is that the series is now heading back to Boston for Monday’s Game 5.
Speaking to NBC Sports Boston, Jayston Tatum spoke about what he expects for Monday night.
“I think it’s going to be as loud as it’s ever been in my seven years of being a Celtic,” Tatum said.

There are many uncertainties about the next game and it’s impossible to predict what will happen.
But one thing is obvious: Boston fans are going to be very fired up and ready to root for their team.
Loyal Celtics followers have been waiting for years to be this close to winning another championship.
It’s a big deal for a number of reasons, including the fact that it’ll give them the most titles in NBA history.
The 18th championship feels incredibly important and Celtics fans are ready for it to be theirs.
The Celtics have been great at home all season, partly because of how engaged the home crowd is.
With just one win between Boston and a title, the audience at TD Garden is going to be wildly loud and rowdy.
They will work as hard as they can to make life very challenging for the Dallas Mavericks.
Home-court advantage is a real thing in the NBA and it sometimes has a sizeable impact.
The Celtics are hoping their home-court advantage really comes in handy on Monday night.
