Even though the Boston Celtics could not convert their Game 1 performance into a victory, they have some positives to take away from the loss. Jayson Tatum once again delivered a sparkling performance, etching his name in the Celtics’ playoff history books alongside Larry the legend! 

Tatum has been outstanding in the 2020 NBA Playoffs, and the fact that he’s just 22-years-old leaves one awestruck over his talent. He’s bound to reach great heights in the NBA, and he’s already crossing milestones after the other. 

Tatum got 30.0 points, 14.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in Game 1. This went down as his third straight 25/10/5 playoff game. This consistent performance from the young star has earned him a place in the franchise’s history books.

Jayson Tatum is now the only Celtics player after Larry Bird to have achieved this remarkable feat. Once again, Tatum is just 22, and he’s already in the company of Hall of Famer Larry bird in an incredible playoff record. 

Jayson Tatum scarily seems to get better with each passing game. The 6’8” forward has become a terrorizing presence in the wing. Moreover, if he gets into the perimeter, his fadeaway beauties are a joy to watch!
