While he hasn’t quite hit that level of play he was showing off about this month last season, Boston Celtics star small forward Jayson Tatum put on a show against Boston’s longtime rival Saturday night, especially in the fourth quarter as Tatum nearly managed to steal the game away from the Los Angeles Lakers single-handedly in the game’s waning seconds.
That the Duke product was even able to put the Celtics in a position to win the game after being down seven points to the Lakers in the game’s final two minutes is a testament to the still-untapped potential in Tatum’s game, and in this particular contest it was good for 30 points and 9 rebounds.
There was even a ridiculous behind-the-back pass to Robert Williams III for an open path to a dunk that’s sure to be on highlight reels across the league.
