Lead by Jayson Tatum, the Boston Celtics were victorious over the Charlotte Hornets. Applying constant pressure on the interior defense and causing mismatches across the floor, Tatum fueled a great game of inside out basketball. For every successful drive, Charlotte’s perimeter defense eased off Boston’s sharpshooters. Then a kick out would happen and find a wide open Celtic for the easy three.
The following two plays demonstrate this perfectly.
First is a simple play. Tatum receives the ball from Brad Wanamaker and brings the ball to the top.
