Practice Day

Q. How excited are you to come back and play Game 3 in the Garden after the Finals not being here for 12 years?

DANIEL THEIS: Very excited. I think everybody knows Boston Celtics fans. Things are going to be shaking on fire tomorrow. The Finals back here to Boston, it's going to be a big event.

Q. Anything you guys noticed in the film the past couple of days from Game 2 that stuck out a bit more that you didn't notice during the game?

DANIEL THEIS: It's simple for us: We've got to take care of the ball. Last game we had I think 19 turnovers; Golden State scored 33 points off it. That's the whole game. We've got to take care of the ball. We can't have that many turnovers and have them run in the open court.

Q. You guys are undefeated after a loss in the Playoffs. How do you keep that momentum going, and what is it about this team that just makes you guys so successful on rebounding after a loss?

DANIEL THEIS: I think everybody on this team just hates losing, so the next game we always bounce back. We make the right adjustments. But also for the whole Finals, we can't just win a game, lose a game and go back and forth. I think we've just got to play consistent at the level that we are able to, and we've got to do it over and over and over again. It's simple for us. Like every series we've played before, we've got to take care of the ball.
