Tatum Takes on Blazers Solo, Celtics Backup Goes Wild…
It was a night of dazzling dribbles and deadly dunks as Jayson Tatum decided to channel his inner Houdini against the Portland Trail Blazers. With Jaylen Brown on a mini-vacation from the court, Tatum painted a masterpiece, dodging defenders like they were giving out advice at a family dinner. Tatum’s mid-range magic had him hitting eight shots while luring big defender Donovan Clingan into a switching nightmare—poor guy probably has Tatum dreams now. The Celtics tactfully turned the court into their playpen, with Luke Kornet helping Tatum deliver a four-point play.
Luke ‘Verticality’ Kornet kept soaring, notching 13 flawless points and grabbing rebounds like they were grocery store samples on a Sunday morning. This guy’s range is so vertical, he might need flight clearance soon. Sam Hauser, meanwhile, served up an all-you-can-shoot buffet, sinking eight triples with the Blazers completely bamboozled. The secret? A little Danny Green magic in his movements. And let’s not forget Baylor Scheierman playing leapfrog through defensive setups, helping his squad feel more connected than a group text during brunch plans.
As Payton Pritchard faced off against his college nostalgia, fouling saw him benched sooner than leftovers in a mini-fridge. But even the Blazers couldn’t fully capitalize, as Al Horford slyly sneak-peeks towards playoff prowess. Ready or not, Sacramento Kings, the Celtics are coming, and they’re packing no mercy and a GPS tracker to find more wins!
