"That was a tough one," Popovich said."The Celtics played great and Jaylen was super. We played well for about a quarter, but after that I thought we just gave in, last game on the road , end of season. I thought we embarrassed ourselves by giving in the way we did. But the Celtics had a lot to do with that."
"They caught fire and we couldn’t recover," Collins said."I think we tried to get back into it. Maybe we did give in. We definitely got to watch the film. You lose by 40, there are probably a lot of things went wrong, so we got to learn from that because we shouldn't lose like that." With that in mind, he can hold up White as a shining example of a player who was outstanding in that area.
