While it might not have been his most efficient night from the floor, Boston Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum’s game-winning 3-pointer against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks was more than enough to make up for it.
The 6-foot-10 All-NBA wing had hit just 12 of his 28 shot attempts on the night for one of his tougher-shooting games in recent memory, yet still managed to score 30 points and 7 rebounds with a pair of assists and steals for good measure. The Duke product also knocked down a much healthier rate of 6-of-13 3-point attempts in the game, of course including the trey that would ultimately seal the deal.
The big shot secured an even bigger win, taking home the W on a night dedicated to the memory of Celtic great Tommy Heinsohn.
Take a look for yourself in the clip embedded above — it seems reports of Boston’s demise may have been greatly exaggerated.
