"You know how in the NBA after timeouts guys try to get shots up?" Tatum asked. "They didn't want me to shoot the ball, so I just took the ball with me to the timeout and I kept the ball the whole time."  

The Celtics will host Game 6 of the series at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, on Thursday night. 

A win for the Warriors ends the series, while a win for the Celtics forces a Game 7 on Sunday night back at the Chase Center.
