With time running out and a chance to win the game for the Boston Celtics, Jayson Tatum’s challenge increased significantly when the reigning Defensive Player of the Year switched over to guard him.
Tatum couldn’t shake free of Giannis Antetokounmpo with a variety of dribbles and instead Tatum went with what he is most comfortable with in his wide-array of offensive moves: a step-back and slightly to the side 3-point attempt.
It ended up being the right call, albeit with some help from the backboard, even though Antetokounmpo couldn’t have played the possession any better, contesting the shot with his otherworldly length.
