This was before the game. Should have told him to take it easy on my squad. Instead Tatum dropped 30 in the win. We’ll see them in March in #Sacramento. #Kings #Celtics #NBA instagram.com/p/ClcebImJZwK/… – 7:51 PM

Good day for the #Celtics to steal Tatum some rest vs. Washington on the front end of the B2B since others will inevitably rest on the back. Will be interesting to see what Boston looks like without him – 5:09 PM

Only 5 players have 100+ 4th quarter points this season on 50% shooting:
Steph Curry- 53%
Jayson Tatum- 51%
Giannis Antetokounmpo- 51%
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander- 50%
Bam Adebayo- 59% !!!
That type of efficiency in the 4th on high volume, while having a high mid-range diet is wild – 12:04 PM

With that big finish to the 3rd quarter, Jayson Tatum (4,005) just joined Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker as the only 3 players to score 4,000 points at TD Garden.

Go-ahead 3 for Payton Pritchard. Five straight points off the bench, and Luke Kornet throws down an alley-oop from Tatum on the next play. Huge boost from a pair of players that didn’t play in the 1st half. – 9:50 PM

#Celtics scrap out the final basket and lead at half, 64-62.
1. No bench bigs again (0 min. for Kornet/Vonleh/Griffin)
2. Hauser -7, Brogdon +1, Grant +0
3. Tatum and the offense got complacent early in the 2nd and opened the door, defense collapsed and #Kings scored 40 in 2Q – 9:12 PM

More on this storyline
Jay King: Marcus Smart on Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum: “I was joking with Jaylen. We have – in the Old Western, when you’re in a shootout, you’ve got a gun on this one. And I told him we also have another one with you over here. So we’ve got two sharpshooters that can do some damage.” -via Twitter @ByJayKing / November 24, 2022
Bobby Manning: Jayson Tatum on biggest difference offensively: “A lot of randomness. Not a lot of playcalling, but trust. Just trusting that each guy’s going to make the right read …” If you make the right play, you’re going to get it back, he says, which was a struggle early last year. -via Twitter @RealBobManning / November 24, 2022
Tim Bontemps: Luka Doncic on playing against Jayson Tatum: “It’s always the best. He’s an amazing player. He’s top 10, in the MVP (conversation) … he’s shown he’s not a future face of the league, but he already is, & he’s an amazing player & it’s always fun to play with those kind of guys.” -via Twitter @TimBontemps / November 24, 2022
