Jayson Tatum was awesome yesterday. He also made some plays defensively too. KD was great, because he IS great. But this was terrific defense by Tatum. Watch the middle of this clip, as KD walks it back. Tatum spreads his full wingspan like a pterodactyl unfurling its wings. pic.twitter.com/33bUeFZRzG – 9:39 AM

Jayson Tatum yesterday:
✅ 54 PTS
✅ 5 REB
✅ 8-15 3P
It’s his fourth career 50-point game, tying Larry Bird for the most in @Boston Celtics history.
Tatum is the only player in franchise history to record multiple 50-point games in a season. He’s done so in back to-back seasons. pic.twitter.com/5xuRNev2Lo – 9:11 AM

New ESPN story: With Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in town, Boston knew it would be offense — not their elite defense — that would beat the Brooklyn Nets.
Luckily for the Celtics, they had Jayson Tatum.

Karl-Anthony Towns was asked after the game about how he’s grown as a leader.
He had a long answer about how so many voices were telling him how to lead, but that this year he decided to lead by being himself.
KAT closed his response with: “In essence, giving less of a fuck.” – 12:03 AM

Chris Finch on Karl-Anthony Towns’ 36-point performance:
“Tonight, it was a lot of guys were just spent so moving around wasn’t really going to be the answer. So really, it was set up shop with KAT as much as we possibly could.” – 10:58 PM

Chris Finch on how Karl-Anthony Towns’ role changes when Anthony Edwards is out of the lineup:
“He understands how important he is to getting Ant going. And when Ant’s not out there, he just gets more aggressive. Which is what you want to see.” – 6:49 PM
