Tatum led the Celtics in points, rebounds, and assists on Saturday night.
Jayson Tatum probably heard the criticism NBA fans and media hurled his way following the Celtics’ Game 2 blowout loss.
His response was a Tatum takeover in a comfortable 13-point win on Saturday night.
Tatum scored 33 points, and added 13 rebounds and six assists. He either led Boston or shared the lead in all five major statistical categories: points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals. All while playing just shy of 42 minutes in Game 3.
“JT is a special player. He always figures it out,” Al Horford said in his postgame interview. “He’s the last guy I worry about, he’s going to be fine, he’s been doing this for a long time now.
