Last night’s Celtics game was a whirlwind unlike any other in this season. I did my best to document the stunning 143-140 win in the moment with the recap; here we’ll look at more specific elements of it.
1. Once again running out of superlatives for Jayson Tatum
Last night, Tatum played with absolute transcendence, even in the first half when most other players on the court appeared to be only present in hologram form, while their physical bodies were in Universe B. The most obvious aspect is the 60 points, but it was more than that: He was trying to get others involved even early on, yet he knew he might be on his own for a while.
