Not too long ago, just about everyone, including us, were writing off Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics, and after falling behind 3-0 to the Miami Heat, who could argue?
Well, the Celtics can.
After a dispiriting three losses, Tatum and the Celtics have won two straight. Boston took Game Four by 17 on Tuesday and on Thursday, the C’s won again, this time by 13.
Tatum again played well, scoring 21 on 8-16. He hit just 1-6 on three pointers but big deal: he barely missed a triple double with 11 assists and eight boards.
