As St. John's University took down the University of Connecticut at Madison Square Garden as part of NCAA men's college basketball action, the New York Knicks couldn't duplicate the feat of neutralizing a hardwood defending champion.

Jayson Tatum scored 25 points to lead the Boston Celtics to a 118-105 victory over the New York Knicks on Sunday.

Jayson Tatum has established himself not only as one of the top players in the NBA but also as one of the greatest players in Boston Celtics history. While it is too early to rank him among the likes of Bill Russell and Larry Bird, there is no doubt that Tatum has a chance to at least be in the conversation when all is said and done.
