Jayson Tatum did it again.
The Celtics superstar came through in the clutch, delivering Boston a 118-116 win over the Pelicans via a midrange jumper just before the horn sounded. Tatum left virtually no time on the clock, drilling the go-ahead basket with just 0.2 seconds remaining, sending the Celtics home with a hard-fought win.
Watch the play unfold:
Tatum is now 3 of 6 this season on shots to take the lead or tie in the final five seconds of regulation and overtime. That’s tied for the most with Tyler Herro (3 of 8). Tatum also leads all NBA players in go-ahead shots in the final five seconds since 2020.
