The Boston Celtics nearly won their road game against the Dallas Mavericks Saturday night, and might have done so handily had they not fallen into a 19-point hole early on. But that the team lost did not make the contest a total loss, as All-Star forward Jayson Tatum seems to have finally broken out of the scoring funk he has been in since the start of the season, the Duke product one of many stars around the league dealing with such a problem.
Tatum put up 32 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, as many steals and a block in 38 minutes of game time, shooting a sizzling 12-of-19 from the floor, 6-of-8 from beyond the arc, and a perfect 2-of-2 from the free-throw line.
Given the game ended in a Luka Doncic dagger for the Dallas win, we doubt you want to watch the game again.
But if you want to see Taco Jay go off, or just want the best plays of the night to watch without torturing yourself, watch this collection of Tatum highlights put together by fan YouTuber Tomasz Kordylewski.
