Brad Stevens probably met with leaders of the Boston Celtics for an overnight meeting

After the disputes in the dressing room after the defeat in Game 2, Head Coach Brad Stevens is said to have met with the leaders of the Boston Celtics for a night meeting to resolve the disagreements. That reports ESPN.

Accordingly, Stevens met with Jayson Tatum, Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart in the team hotel around 1 a.m. There the players discussed the circumstances that led to the screams and the argument in the dressing room.

Both in the cabin and in the meeting, Smart is said to have pursued the goal of sharpening the team’s focus on the situation. Boston had given away a 17-point lead in the second half and produced many costly ball losses, especially in the final phase (a total of 20 in the game).

An important part of the discussion is said to have been the smooth integration of Gordon Hayward into the rotation. The forward, who has been injured since the first playoff game against the Sixers, was classified as questionable for game 3 (Sunday to Monday 2.30 a.m. live on DAZN) and the Celtics should be hopeful that he can take on a role as a banker there.

According to the report, the coaches and players believe the four stars have successfully discussed all issues and are ready to prepare for Game 3.

Boston Celtics: Smart and Brown probably clashed

Shams Charania by The Athletic had previously reported that Smart and Brown had clashed in the locker room and had to be separated by teammates. Smart is said to have demanded that other players besides himself should be made responsible for the renewed defeat.

Brown is reported to have told Smart that he should calm down and that the Celtics “need to stay together and act as a team, not individually”. Objects then flew through the cabin, but there were no physical riots.
