Jayson Tatum Leads Celtics With 23 Points
4 years agoBoston Celtics small forward Jayson Tatum was the team's leading scorer in Sunday's 100-91 loss to the Suns, finishing with 23 points, seven assists, four rebounds, and one steal. He went a solid 3-for-7 from three-point range but actually shot a poor 8-for-22 from the field overall, so it was a disappointing performance by him. Jaylen Brown (knee) is currently out and you never know what you are going to get with Kemba Walker, who was a miserable 4-for-20 from the field on Sunday, so Tatum carries a heavy load on the offensive end and his inefficient performance will hurt the whole team badly. Tatum won't be in a great bounce-back spot on Tuesday against the Jazz, who have limited opposing small forwards to 40.9 percent shooting this season.
