What good is a Boston Celtics win without hearing from Deuce Tatum afterward?

After a 109-86 bounce-back victory over the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 2 in the Eastern Conference semifinals at TD Garden, Deuce was in the Celtics' locker room alongside his father, Jayson Tatum, who poured in 29 points on 10 of 20 shooting -- 5 of 10 from 3-point range -- to go along with eight assists in the win to even the series.

Celtics set two records with performance from 3-point land vs. Bucks

Deuce's words of wisdom, with help from Ime Udoka? Simply, "get buckets."

"Get buckets on 3. Everyone ain't your daddy," Udoka told Deuce as he led the locker room in a postgame chant.

The moment drew a warm reaction from the locker room, where Deuce was seated between his father and Daniel Theis.

Deuce's father was far from the only Celtics player who excelled at getting buckets on Tuesday, namely Jaylen Brown (30 points, 11 for 18) and Grant Williams (21 points, 7 for 14). If they can continue to get buckets at the rate they did, this postseason run has the potential to last quite a bit longer.
