It was a party at TD Garden with cake, balloons, and father-son Nike.
Last time the Celtics and Bucks met on the hardwood, one might suggest there was no love lost between Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jaylen Brown, following the fake-out handshake in Cleveland that led Brown to call him a child. One might suggest the same with those third quarter Friday night scuffs.
However, it was all love at TD Garden, with a party for fan favorite Deuce Tatum who turned seven and got to celebrate at the Garden.
Sometimes called Little Deuce to Jayson Tatum’s Big Deuce, the duo shared a sweet father-son moment in the tunnel, marking the special day with a Spider-Man cake.
Lil Deuce blew out the candle and accepted a blue and yellow “Birthday King” balloon with gratitude and a look of wonder. “Thank you,” he said as the person off-camera handed him the present.
Walking the tunnel, we see the outfits front-to-back.
