Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown led a balanced scoring attack on Sunday, as the Celtics routed the Knicks 118-105.
Here are the takeaways.
1. Jayson Tatum is a big problem for the Knicks.
The Celtics are a matchup nightmare for the Knicks for a number of reasons, but the biggest nightmare is also the most obvious: Tatum is one of the NBA’s most well-rounded, dangerous superstars, and he is demolishing opponents right now.
The Knicks are far from the only team who struggle to defend Tatum, but their struggles might be the most pronounced.
