Observations: Jayson Tatum pours in 43 points as Pistons fall to Celtics, again

Detroit — Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum knocked down a 3-pointer in the middle of the fourth quarter and turned around to blow a kiss to a few heckling Pistons fans sitting courtside.

If that wasn't a blatant message, Tatum drilled a 3-pointer in front of the Pistons bench on Boston's next possession to reach 40 points. After the shot went through the net, Tatum yelled towards Detroit's bench.

The Celtics were without Jaylen Brown in Saturday's game against the Pistons due to a left knee contusion, but they still had one of the most prolific scorers in the NBA in their lineup.
