The Boston Celtics had three members of their roster on Team USA’s gold-medal-winning Olympic team. Jayson Tatum, Jrue Holiday and Derrick White all played a part in Steve Kerr’s team securing a gold medal. During the United States 98-87 win over France, both Tatum and Holiday were part of the rotation. White received a DNP-CD.
During the tournament, some controversy surrounded Tatum being benched for both games against Serbia, one to open the tournament and one in the semi-finals. Nevertheless, all three members of Boston’s championship-winning rotation had a role to play in the USA’s unbeaten run to another gold medal at the Olympic games.
Shortly after Team USA had secured their victory, Bobby Manning and Noa Dalzell went live in a special episode of CLNS Media’s “The Garden Report” to share their thoughts on the game, the impact Boston’s trio had on the tournament, and which players on the USA roster stood out.
