For much of the Boston Celtics’ 96 – 88 road loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, it looked as if whatever steps forward star swingman Jayson Tatum had taken from his incredibly inefficient start to the 2021-22 NBA season had mysteriously disappeared again, but by the end of the contest, the Duke product had found his stroke, nearly helping the Celtics come back from a 24-point deficit.
Tatum put up a total of 24 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, and a steal in 40 minutes of playing time, managing to end up shooting a decent if not great 9-of-23 from the floor, 2-of-7 from deep, and 4-of-5 from the free throw line.
We imagine you don’t want to re-watch the stinker of a game Boston really lost in the opening moments of the contest, but if you want to re-watch the best of Tatum’s play against the Spurs (or to see it for the first time without needing to bleach your eyeholes), watch the clip embedded below, courtesy of fan videographer Bllen.
