Jayson Tatum, Chicago, NBA, Boston Celtics, Triple-Double
Chicago: Wow, did you catch Jayson Tatum’s game? He was on fire! The Celtics star dropped 43 points, snagged 16 rebounds, and dished out 10 assists. That’s a triple-double, and the first for a Boston player since Larry Bird. Pretty wild, right?
But wait, there’s more! Tatum scored 26 points just from pull-up shots. He was hitting them like it was nothing, going 9 for 16 overall. And get this, he was 8 for 14 from three-point range on those pull-ups. Talk about a shooting clinic!
He didn’t just score, though. Tatum also created 21 points through assists. That’s a total of 64 points generated! He and Jaylen Brown were a dynamic duo, combining for 41 assist points. When those two are clicking, the Celtics are tough to beat.
And let’s not forget about his rebounding. Tatum grabbed 15 boards, which is a season-high for him. He was super efficient, snagging 71.4% of his rebound chances. That’s impressive, especially when you consider he’s already one of the best rebounders on the team.
Oh, and there was a dunk that didn’t get a score. Tatum had a sick slam over Jalen Smith, but the NBA didn’t give it a dunk score. Can you believe that? It’s like they missed out on a highlight reel moment!
All in all, Tatum’s performance was a reminder of why he’s one of the top players in the league. If he keeps this up, the Celtics are going to be a force to reckon with!
