For the second game in a row — and against an ideal opponent in the Los Angeles Lakers — Boston Celtics All-Star forward Jayson Tatum showed he’d shaken off his early-season slump that has been plaguing him until recently in the 2021-22 NBA season.
Leading all scorers in the Celtics’ 130 – 108 blowout of Los Angeles at TD Garden Friday night, the St. Louis native put up 37 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, and a block while shooting 13-of-26 from the floor, 4-of-9 from beyond the arc and a perfect 7-f-7 from the line in 34 minutes fo playing time.

It seems pretty certain that the Duke product has shed the yips that were following his game, and it couldn’t have happened at a better time.
