10 takeaways from a Celtics win over the Wizards with defense and hustle

#1 - Jayson Tatum schooling Bilal Coulibaly

Washington has some rising stars among its core, and one of them is Bilal Coulibaly. The French player is gaining recognition as a great defensive wing, making his matchup with Jayson Tatum an excellent opportunity to evaluate him.

But focusing solely on Jayson Tatum’s physicality would overlook his exceptional ability to manipulate defenses.
