Jaylon Tyson’s comments after Celtics’ win: The Celtics were shorthanded on Sunday, playing without Derrick White and Neemias Queta (both given a rest), but still managed to get a win against the favored Cavaliers, 117-114.
Despite also missing superstar Jayson Tatum (who remains out as he rehabs his ruptured Achilles tendon), Boston (11-9) is now just a half game behind Cleveland (12-9).
Though the Cavaliers mounted a furious rally, the Celtics held on for an important win against a quality opponent. The defeat left Cleveland’s Jaylon Tyson upset, to the point that he publicly criticized his team’s own effort.
