Jayson Tatum Scores Career-High 39 Points
5 years agoBoston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum led the team to another win on Sunday, scoring a career-high 39 against Charlotte. He also picked up a nice double-double with 12 rebounds, adding three blocks, two assists, and one steal. Tatum, who scored 22 points in the fourth, nailed four attempts from deep and shot 15-for-29 overall from the field. The 21-year-old forward struggled with his shot earlier in the season, but he's steadily improved and that's allowed him to push his scoring average up to 24 points this month. He'll be back on the court on Wednesday against the reigning champs Toronto. The Raptors limited Tatum to just 36 percent shooting in the first meeting of the season, but he still produced a nice 25-9-4 line.
