Jayson Tatum Stars in Celtics’ Winning Comedy Show…
In a thrilling late-night hoopla, the Celtics took center stage at the Golden1 Center and handed the Kings a 113-95 defeat. With this win, Boston shines with a sparkling 53-19 record, all thanks to the hoop magic of Jayson Tatum, who nailed 25 points, dished out 8 assists, and grabbed 7 rebounds. Meanwhile, the Kings scribbled a story of their own but fell short, with DeMar DeRozan sinking 20 points and some weathered free throws.
After convalescing from his knee impingement, Jaylen Brown was back from his spa retreat. The Celtics starting five reunited after a month, resembling the return of a boy band on stage. Despite missing a few cast members due to injuries that could’ve been mistaken for a Friends rerun lineup, they managed to steal the spotlight. The start was wobbly as the Celtics trailed 19-11, thanks to Keegan Murray and Domantas Sabonis’ early hijinks.
But Tatum soon grabbed the mic, hitting notes from beyond the arc and made sure the Celtics stayed in the groove. Even when faced with a wobbly sequence or two, he held the score like a true maestro. As the Celtics boogied into the fourth quarter with an 88-78 advantage, they sealed the show with some sparkling threes, leaving Sacramento with a whiff of popcorn and disappointment. Next, the Celtics head to the desert to take on the Suns on Wednesday night—hopefully with a little less drama and a lot more laughs!
