It takes more than one bad shooting night to shake Jayson Tatum<\/strong>‘s confidence, writes Tim Bontemps of ESPN. Meeting with the media following today’s practice, the Celtics<\/strong> star said he won’t change anything about his approach after shooting just 3-of-17 in Game 1.<\/p>\n

“Once you’ve done something before, you know how to respond,”<\/em> Tatum said. \u201cI’ve had some bad shooting nights in the NBA. So it’s like, ‘I’ve been here before.’ I know what to do next game. I think a lot of it is mental. You don’t let it creep into your mind. I can’t do nothing about what happened last game. I missed those shots and it is what it is. It’s all about how to prepare and get ready for the next one. “<\/em><\/p>\n

Even though Tatum was misfiring, Boston still put 120 points on the board and he was able to contribute 13 assists. That may have worked on Thursday night, but Tatum understands that the Celtics will need consistent scoring from him to win the series.<\/p>\n

“Obviously, I know I’ve got to play better,”<\/em> he said. “I can’t shoot like that every game and hopefully we win. I expect to play better shooting-wise, but just impacting the game in different ways to do my part and let’s get a win. I will continue to do that. Just read the game, read each play. That’s how I kind of approach next game. “<\/em><\/p>\n
