At only 24-years-old, Jayson Tatum still has an entire promising career ahead. Dunks. Cold-blooded threes. Countless accolades. Maybe even a title or two. It’s all out in the open.
But for as gifted as Tatum is, we’ve wondered when he’d finally play like it in a do-or-die situation. When would he finally put the Celtics on his back and become the unstoppable star everyone knows he’s capable of being?
We got our answer on Friday night, with the Celtics down 3-2 against the Bucks (-1.5 point favorites coming in) in Milwaukee. Tatum went off for a 46-point (seven 3s!), nine-rebound, four-assist legendary performance in a 108-95 win to force Game 7.
