Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum’s bashing of the Detroit Pistons five days before Christmas stands as a marquee moment this season. Detroit later got revenge, sparking this recent skid where Brown and Tatum largely traded time off the floor. In their first meeting, the two comfortably shared shots to combine for 52 points.
After Tatum scored nine straight, Detroit switched to a zone with four defenders wide and Andre Drummond playing the middle. Brown lit it up, first navigating to the corner and hitting a three, then up-faking past Drummond at the top of the arc to hit a floater.
