The Boston Celtics entered their matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder sitting at 2-2, good for 7th place in the Eastern Conference. The defense hasn’t looked great, and the offense has been a complete mess.
But that didn’t stop 2nd year forward Jayson Tatum from delivering perhaps the highlight play of the night across the NBA.
Jay Smooth unleashed his inner Mamba all over Paul George in this posturing dunk to end the 1st quarter of play.
Boston struggled early but found a way to claw themselves back out of a 16 point 2nd half deficit to pull off the comeback.
