Shoot your shot: 10 Takeaways from Celtics-Pelicans

1. We (he) did iiiiii…it!

That was big time.

Jayson Tatum’s struggles with that exact type of shot have been well-documented, and for me personally, it’s gotten to the point where I don’t really think that 20-odd foot fadeaway is going in. But Tatum delivered, nailing this 21-footer with two guys closing out. And it was glorious.

Game-winners are a strange art. On one hand, I’d love if the Celtics ran the greatest set play of all time to get a wide open shot for any of their five starters.
