The Boston Celtics are an organization that embraces being different from its competition. This time it ended with the Celtics emerging with a 105-102 victory over the Indiana Pacers Monday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse to complete a short two-game road trip with a 1-1 record.

Jayson Tatum says this year's Celtics aren't skipping steps. Tatum described why it's different in Boston this year.

Tatum didn't have the best showing in the 2022 NBA Finals, scoring 21.5 points per game on 36.5 percent shooting from the field in the six-game series loss to the Golden State Warriors.
