NEW YORK – How can a 20-year-old be this good at basketball?
Jayson Tatum is incomparable.
Boston’s second-year forward has followed up a historic postseason run with an electric start to the 2018-19 season, one that was buoyed by Saturday night’s dominance at Madison Square Garden. Tatum recorded the most impressive stat line of his career, a monster double-double that consisted of 24 points and a career-best 14 rebounds, to lead Boston to a 103-101 win over the New York Knicks.
Tatum scored six of his points during the final minute of the game to seal Boston’s win.
