Celtics led by 24, lost it all, and ended up holding on for a one point win. They've won THREE IN A ROW and got a little revenge against Philly. Even with their late mistakes, they played great defense when it mattered and Jaylen was awesome again. More later on a full Locked On Celtics podcast.

Tom Thibideau chatting with Jayson Tatum at practice. Jaylen Brown says "him being able to kind of give us some of the thoughts he saw in that series and some of the stuff that they broke down in our personnel, or even our team, helps us grow and learn from that ... It only helps me get better."

here's where Jaylen hurt himself. You can see him put his hand on the left hamstring and then he's moving gingerly. He's walking off at the very end with his hand on the left hamstring
