When Boston Celtics All-Star Forward Jayson Tatum ends a bad shooting streak, he doesn’t spare his efforts. And he didn’t do it in his 51-point thrashing of the The Wizards of Washington, powering the Celtics’ 116-87 victory over the Wiz at Capital One Arena that fateful day.
The St. Louis native scored the third-most points of his career, shooting 18 of 28 from the field, shooting 9 of 14 from three-point range and 6 of 6 from the free throw line. Tatum had 10 rebounds and seven assists to round out his stats. He had a turnover late in the game.
If you’re one of those who stopped watching the game and need to see his historic performance for the first time (or just want to bask in the glory of the former Duke star’s big night), check out the NBA-made video clip embedded below.
