"You’ve got to take the good with the bad, and understand that down the road, we could be grateful for this stretch," said Tatum via Boston Dot Com's Colin McCarthy. "If we continue to stick together, if we continue to be a close-knit group. If we figure it out together, come out on the other side of this, we’ll feel a lot better about ourselves."

Tatum registered 23 points (7-21 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 43 minutes during Saturday's 119-115 overtime loss to Atlanta. The 26-year-old forward had another productive fantasy night despite a poor shooting performance.
