Jayson Tatum made Friday night’s TD Garden crowd roar with excitement with an emphatic slam dunk after stealing the ball on the other end of the court.

Tatum committed a steal on the Celtics’ end of the parquet midway through the second quarter and raced down the court. He avoided a handful of defenders on the breakaway and posterized Peyton Watson to complete the sequence.
