During a 117-97 loss to the Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena on Wednesday night, Boston Celtics All-Star forward Jayson Tatum was involved in two ankle-breaking moments, both of which were worthy of making the highlight reels.

The first of the ankle-breakers came in the first quarter with the Pistons up 15-9 and 4:49 remaining in the period. Tatum, with the ball in his left hand at the top of the key, crossed over to his right, then stepped back, sending Pistons guard Cade Cunningham hurtling forward. The Celtics star then drained the ensuing three-point attempt, putting a bow on the impressive play.
