Even MVP candidates have dreadful shooting nights at points during the season.
Friday night’s contest against the Wizards simply was not Jayson Tatum’s night. He went 0-for-10 from 3-point range and 6-for-19 from the field.
The Celtics collectively had a slow start and let the Wizards hang around for too long, but ultimately were able to overcome the off night from Tatum. They beat Washington by 12.
Tatum bounced back against the Timberwolves at TD Garden on Sunday, hitting five of his 12 3-point attempts.
Asked if he changed his routine at all to address the struggles, Tatum shook his head and said no.
