Jon Krawczinski: Wolves did a nice little welcome back video for Luka Garza and Josh Minott. Chris Finch called Garza a "culture driver" when he was here.

Brown scored on what should have been a successful 2-for-1 situation with 31 seconds before halftime, but a turnover by Josh Minott with seven seconds remaining allowed Brooklyn (3-12) to score the final four points of the second quarter. “Regardless if you’re making or missing shots, regardless of anything, we’ve just got to come out and play with great energy, great enthusiasm for the game,” Brown said. “Like, want to win. It just didn’t seem like that was the case tonight.”

Taylor Snow: FINAL: Celtics 125, Cavaliers 105 ☘️ Brown: 30 PTS, 5 REB, 4 AST ☘️ Hauser: 21 PTS (7-13 3P), 3 REB ☘️ White: 19 PTS, 5 REB, 4 AST ☘️ Simons: 14 PTS (4-6 3P) ☘️ Minott: 11 PTS, 14 REB, 3 STL ☘️ Queta: 10 PTS, 13 REB, 3 AST, 3 STL, +25 ☘️ Pritchard: 10 PTS, 3 REB, 10 AST, 2 STL ☘️ Garza: 10 PTS, 5 REB

“He just has a knack for the situation or play on both ends of the floor,” Joe Mazzulla told reporters in Memphis. “Whether it’s getting offensive rebounds, a couple steals, a couple blocks. He has some good versatility, but he has a knack for the ball and a knack for being in the mix. He was able to generate some steals an deflections tonight and obviously some offensive rebounds.” Minott has never played more than 20 minutes in a regular season game during his three years in Minnesota on a stacked playoff roster so Boston’s wing rotation should open the door for some opportunity for him.

Even seeing Tatum’s relentless effort on a daily basis, his teammates still marveled at how far he’s come in a short time. A sampling of their reactions: Xavier Tillman: "It is crazy impressive. I mean, I'm seeing this guy do like box jumps and stuff like that. And I'm like, ‘Huh!? What!?’” Jordan Walsh: "I mean, the dude's a machine. He's recovering at a crazy rate.” Josh Minott: "That's inspiring, seeing his progression. I mean, they're saying it's like unprecedented.” Derrick White: "It's been impressive. Just goes to who he is and what type of worker he is." Sam Hauser: "To see him moving like that already is pretty special. And it's just a credit to all the work he's been doing behind the scenes, when there's no cameras around. You watch the way he's working, rehabbing, it makes you want to do a little extra." Payton Pritchard: "I already expected this from Jayson, to come back like this … I just never put things past certain people, and he's one of those guys.”

John Karalis: The Luka Garza and Josh Minott signings are official
