Jayson Tatum displayed his abilities to the world last night, attacking the Pelicans relentlessly. He had malice in his game. Not content with his previous possession, he wanted to score again and again.
The way in which he orchestrated his opportunities was intriguing, setting up the defense for bigger shots as the game wore on. To start the game, Tatum attacked the pick-and-roll repeatedly, taking advantage of the poor Pelicans’ coverage.
