Jayson Tatum sets NBA record for most turnovers in a playoffs

Not the record you want your franchise player to set, but last night Jayson Tatum broke the record for most turnovers in a playoffs. At least he's in good company as he passed LeBron James.

Seems unfair on a night he gave his team a chance to steal Game 5...but it is what it is... pic.twitter.com/MGsbeFeeU0

A few things about this record. One, to compile nearly 100 turnovers in a playoffs means you have to play a lot of games (which is a good thing). Two, you tend to be the 1st option on offense and have to be a playmaker, so there are more chances for turnovers (and you tend to also get a lot of assists).
