Al Horford praises coach Brad Stevens: He is a genius. Unbelievable
Jaylen Brown on Celtics' overtime win: 'I tip my hat off to Brad Stevens'
Boston Celtics players praised coach Brad Stevens for the plays he set when his team looked disheveled.
Per ESPN, The first resulted in a Jaylen Brown layup to tie the game with 24 seconds to play in regulation; the second put Horford in position to muscle home a winning layup with 5.5 seconds remaining in overtime.
"Brad is a genius, man. Unbelievable," Horford said during an on-court interview with ESPN immediately after Boston's win to take a 3-0 series lead.
"We got two game-winning, game-tying buckets -- layups. That says it all," Brown said. "We played hard, we fought, it was a tough environment, but when it came to an ATO [after-timeout play] to draw up, a big basket that we needed, we were getting layups. I tip my hat off to Brad Stevens."
