Jayson Tatum notched his fourth triple-double Thursday, leading the Boston Celtics to a dominant 124-104 road win over the Philadelphia 76ers in their first game after the All-Star break. Head coach Joe Mazzulla liked what he saw from his young star.
Fans of the Boston Celtics have something special in star forward Jayson Tatum. The St. Louis native has evolved as a player, no longer hunting for big scoring numbers, and using his potency on that end of the court to draw double- and triple-teams to the benefit of teammates he dimes up on the regular.
The Boston Celtics acquired Jaden Springer from the Philadelphia 76ers at the Feb. 8 trade deadline. The 21-year-old guard has already developed a reputation for being a high-level point-of-attack defender.
