I had a practice with the French national team in Paris and he was practicing after us. I saw him walking in and I'm like, 'This is the big kid I heard about a couple weeks ago?' And one of the coaches said, 'Yeah. He's the new kid. He's supposed to be great and he's really tall.' I said, 'No, he's not tall; he's different.' I saw him joking around with his friends and just being young. I saw him pick up the basketball and he started dribbling. I was shocked how he could handle the ball at that size. Then our coaches said it's time for us to get on the bus and I'm like, 'Go. Go. I'm staying. I'm going to check this kid out. Give me 15 minutes.' “After watching him, I talked to Tony Parker because we’re part owners of [French basketball team] ASVEL Basket. I said to Tony, ‘Yo, I got the next one. I just saw the next one.

Nicolas Batum said : "I don't think he was in their game plan - 51st pick”. The Celtics knew who he was. Boston said he heard some of their players calling him “Mr. 46,” a reference to the 46 points he scored in a G League game a week ago.Marcus Morris added 20 points for the Clippers, who won consecutive games for the first time since Nov. 13. Ivica Zubac and Terance Mann had 10 points and 10 rebounds each.The Celtics were led by Jayson Tatum with 29 points and 10 rebounds. Dennis Schröder added 19 points and eight assists, and Josh Richardson scored 17 off the bench.The Clippers blew most of a 21-point lead in the third quarter, when the Celtics got within four.Boston scored five points in a 13-4 run that opened the third and extended the Clippers’ lead to 76-55 - their biggest of the game.The Celtics responded with a 20-4 spurt that drew them within four. Tatum scored nine points, drawing huge cheers from the green-clad fans in the crowd with a dunk off Eric Bledsoe’s turnover.“We started picking up the pressure, getting some turnovers and speeding them up,” Tatum said. “We always feel like we have a chance till the buzzer goes off.”The Clippers led 87-78 going into the fourth. They pushed their lead to 15 after eight straight points capped by Morris' basket.But the Celtics weren't done yet. They ran off 10 in a row to close to 102-97.“Minus PG, this was a good win for us. I don't like how we finished the game,” Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said. “They got dunk after dunk. It's hard to win games like that, but we kept our composure.”The final 3 1/2 minutes turned into a 3-point shootout. Reggie Jackson and Luke Kennard hit back-to-back 3s for the Clippers, restoring their lead to 11 points. Schröder and Richardson did the same for the Celtics, again putting them within five.The Celtics successfully challenged an out-of-bounds call with 1:29 remaining that gave them possession. After Schröder missed, Tatum got the offensive rebound and tipped the ball in to get the Celtics to 108-105.Morris then coolly sank a 3-pointer from the left corner. The Clippers went 3 of 4 from the free throw line in the final 12 seconds to hold on after the Celtics closed within one. Tatum missed a potential tying 3 at the buzzer.“We only played a quarter and a half,” Celtics coach Ime Udoka said. “Gifting them points, that is the frustrating part. The turnovers (22) were enough of a gift.”Tatum had six of the miscues.“That's unacceptable,” he said. “We've got to be tougher and take care of the ball.”Boston hit the Clippers' first 3 of the second half, looking as amazed as anyone. A grinning Morris celebrated with him before making a 3 of his own.Boston did some trash talking in the second quarter that drew a technical foul. In the third, he was called for a flagrant 1 foul after his right elbow struck Grant Williams in the face. Boston finished 9 of 13 from the floor and made all four of his free throws to go with four steals. He strummed an air guitar after making one of his 3s.“We've got to respect everybody,” Schröder said. “He came in and busted our (tails). He won them the game”. “I took one dribble to look how much was left on the clock,” Boston said. “I said, ‘OK, one second. OK, I got enough time to turn around.’ I turned around and just let it go”.

Nicolas Batum said : "I don't think he was in their game plan - 51st pick”. The Celtics knew who he was. Boston said he heard some of their players calling him “Mr. 46,” a reference to the 46 points he scored in a G League game a week ago.Marcus Morris added 20 points for the Clippers, who won consecutive games for the first time since Nov. 13. Ivica Zubac and Terance Mann had 10 points and 10 rebounds each.The Celtics were led by Jayson Tatum with 29 points and 10 rebounds. Dennis Schröder added 19 points and eight assists, and Josh Richardson scored 17 off the bench.The Clippers blew most of a 21-point lead in the third quarter, when the Celtics got within four.Boston scored five points in a 13-4 run that opened the third and extended the Clippers’ lead to 76-55 - their biggest of the game.The Celtics responded with a 20-4 spurt that drew them within four. Tatum scored nine points, drawing huge cheers from the green-clad fans in the crowd with a dunk off Eric Bledsoe’s turnover.“We started picking up the pressure, getting some turnovers and speeding them up,” Tatum said. “We always feel like we have a chance till the buzzer goes off.”The Clippers led 87-78 going into the fourth. They pushed their lead to 15 after eight straight points capped by Morris' basket.But the Celtics weren't done yet. They ran off 10 in a row to close to 102-97.“Minus PG, this was a good win for us. I don't like how we finished the game,” Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said. “They got dunk after dunk. It's hard to win games like that, but we kept our composure.”The final 3 1/2 minutes turned into a 3-point shootout. Reggie Jackson and Luke Kennard hit back-to-back 3s for the Clippers, restoring their lead to 11 points. Schröder and Richardson did the same for the Celtics, again putting them within five.The Celtics successfully challenged an out-of-bounds call with 1:29 remaining that gave them possession. After Schröder missed, Tatum got the offensive rebound and tipped the ball in to get the Celtics to 108-105.Morris then coolly sank a 3-pointer from the left corner. The Clippers went 3 of 4 from the free throw line in the final 12 seconds to hold on after the Celtics closed within one. Tatum missed a potential tying 3 at the buzzer.“We only played a quarter and a half,” Celtics coach Ime Udoka said. “Gifting them points, that is the frustrating part. The turnovers (22) were enough of a gift.”Tatum had six of the miscues.“That's unacceptable,” he said. “We've got to be tougher and take care of the ball.”Boston hit the Clippers' first 3 of the second half, looking as amazed as anyone. A grinning Morris celebrated with him before making a 3 of his own.Boston did some trash talking in the second quarter that drew a technical foul. In the third, he was called for a flagrant 1 foul after his right elbow struck Grant Williams in the face. Boston finished 9 of 13 from the floor and made all four of his free throws to go with four steals. He strummed an air guitar after making one of his 3s.“We've got to respect everybody,” Schröder said. “He came in and busted our (tails). He won them the game”. “I took one dribble to look how much was left on the clock,” Boston said. “I said, ‘OK, one second. OK, I got enough time to turn around.’ I turned around and just let it go”. Clippers teammate Nicolas Batum said: "
