He also talked about building chemistry with new teammate Evan Fournier. This is what he had to say on the matter. “We’re figuring it out… just getting a feel to play with each other… we got a big game coming up Tuesday.”
Lastly, Tatum commented on building up momentum for the playoffs. This is what he had to say on how the game today helped that. “I wasn’t necessarily worried about the outcome today, like I said, just wanted to come out here and play well… I think we did that… just something to build towards.”
