In arguably the most important game of his still-young career, Boston Celtics All-Star small forward Jayson Tatum flashed his superstar skills again at a critical moment, helping to power his team to a 92 – 87 win over the Toronto Raptors.
In 44 minutes of play — tied with veteran point guard Kemba Walker — the Duke product put up 29 points on 9-of-23 shooting, including a healthy 4-of-8 from beyond the arc.
Tatum also pulled down 12 boards, dished 7 assists and had a steal and a block for good measure, getting to the free throw line 10 times, converting 7.
Taken together, it was enough to get the Celtics to their third Eastern Conference Finals in four seasons, the St. Louis native’s second of his career.
So, whether you missed the game last night, or just want to relive the action without the nail-biting tension, watch the video embedded above.
