After the Los Angeles Lakers put an end to the Golden State Warriors’ season with a win in Hollywood in Game 6, the NBA’s attention turned to Game 7 in the Eastern Conference between the Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics.
In a win-or-go-home scenario, Jayson Tatum torched the Sixers on the way to punching the Celtics’ ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals. Tatum went ballistic, scoring a scorching 51 points on 17-of-28 shooting from the field with six made triples to go along with 13 boards, five assists and two steals in 42 minutes. Behind Tatum, the Celtics cruised past the Sixers, 112-88 on Mother’s Day.
Tatum’s performance took over the NBA community on Sunday with a pair of members from the Golden State Warriors taking to Twitter with reactions. Both Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala chimed in on Twitter following Tatum’s performance against the 76ers.
