Boston Celtics All-NBA small forward Jayson Tatum fell just short of his goals for the 2019-20 season that he set for himself ahead of its start in 2019.
He nearly pulled it off though, having made the All-Star team, scored more than 20 points per game, but fell short of making the NBA Finals by two wins as the Miami Heat dispatched the Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals 125 – 113.
In his final outing of the season, the Duke product put up 24 points, 7 rebounds, a career-high 11 assists, 2 steals and a block.
While the ending might be frustrating, this was a gem of a season from the Missouri native, in which we saw him make the sort of leap you only see from a handful of players each decade.
It’s be some time before we have live Celtics basketball to watch with Summer League canceled and the coming season likely not due to start until some time in January of next year, so be sure to watch the video embedded above to see all of Tatum’s best plays from Game 6.
