The Boston Celtics have been pummeling teams into submission with their defense all the while their offense has hit a new gear as All-Star forward Jayson Tatum appears to have taken another leap as a player on the other end of the court, and fellow star on the wing Jaylen Brown is hitting his stride at the same time to devastating effect.
