Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum considered the team’s five-game first-round win over the Miami Heat as an easy part of their journey to the NBA title. Tatum made this comment during an interview with Brian Scalabrine before the Celtics’ championship parade.

This win was a bounce-back from last year’s series, where Jayson Tatum suffered an ankle injury and was eliminated by the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals. Tatum’s comment may have been made to hype up Boston fans preparing for the championship parade, but it also highlights the Celtics-Heat rivalry as one of the most compelling in the NBA.
