Jayson Tatum s 41-PT Christmas Day Performance December 25 2022

What a kick out to Coniston, a little bit strong. Allen kept it alive, but it goes to Tatum. Tatum with the deep jumper of Butter. Could have, should have had a goaltending call, but not so. Here's Tatum. Brown pulls another three. It's nothing but net. There was something eye-popping that came out of that Ramona Shelbourne article where Jason Tatum essentially said about the Golden State Warriors, talent-wise we were right there Luke Lopez had it knocked away. Good help defense by Marcus Smart. All it does is make winning plays. Tatum inside. Got it. Tatum. Good ball fake. One more. Tatum. Smart with four on the shot clock. Tatum wheels, spins. Got it. Get Coniston on the switch. Tatum with the ball. Boy, the Bucs loaded up boxes and elbows. It didn't matter for Tatum. Here's Tatum. Tough step back three. Laces it. Looks towards the heavens and says, finally. Tatum playing with his food out front. And it's time to eat. Tatum with the ball again. Four on the shot clock. Gotta get to work. Hit Allen with the hesitation. Got it. And you see the Celtics do this. Credit their ability to absorb that first blow and make it tough shots. He's two for four on free throws as Tatum gets another one. Coniston struggled with a calf injury earlier this year. Took him a little bit longer to get back than he thought. And Jason Tatum just set off the smoke detector. Tatum off the screen. Picks it back out to Derek White for three. Giannis is obviously a force in the paint. Averages over 18 points per game but that's momentum building shots and plays. And now Tatum, I believe that is his fifth consecutive 30-point game. Wow. Interesting point to take a little inventory. Celtics on the move. Holliday switched on to Brown. Now Tatum guarded by Coniston. Tough shot. And he is hotter than fish grease.
