Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart join rare company in Celtics’ win

The Celtics’ first home NBA Finals game in 12 years not only saw them walk away with a win, it also saw three of their top players make history.

Jayson Tatum scored 26 points, dished out a game-high nine assists, and also had six rebounds. Jaylen Brown scored a team-high 27 points, dolled out five assists, and grabbed nine rebounds. Marcus Smart scored 24, grabbed seven rebounds, and also dished out five assists.

With those stat lines, Tatum, Brown, and Smart became the first trio of teammates to have at least 20 points, five assists, and five rebounds in an NBA Finals game since 1984.
