The Boston Celtics continue at a frantic pace, without forgiving any opponent (5 straight wins; 9 wins in the last 10 matches) and consolidate their first place in the Eastern Conference. And Jason Tatum is one major culprit. Fully immersed in the MVP race at this early stage of the campaign, the Celtics star soared to 49 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals last night. In nearly 40 minutes on the field, he’s only lost one possession. A performance that Miami did not respond to.

In this way, Jayson Tatum becomes the first player in NBA history to add at least 45 points, 10 rebounds and 8 triples in several games. Out of curiosity, the Celtics player later commented in a press conference that he had hung out with Grant Williams in the warm-up that he was going to score 50 that night. “I have already done that on other occasions. I’ll have it again one day,” he confirmed in a post-match post.
And the Celtics, looking in the mirror back at the rest of the conference, expect Robert Williams to be back on the team “soon.”
