Jayson Tatum and company led the Boston Celtics to a six-point win over the Brooklyn Nets. The Celtics scored a 125-119 victory in the playoff game. 

The 23-tear-old player said, “I just tried to be better, I had a tough two games so I tried to redeem myself and do anything I can to win.” At the Boston Garden, the teams played out in front of a crowd of 4,700. Reacting to that, he said, “It felt good to finally play a playoff game at TD Garden and it is great being back in front of our fans.”

Tatum scored a career-high of 50 points, six rebounds and seven assists to propel his side to clinch the game. While James Harden’s 41 points and Kevin Durant’s 39 points could not help the Nets in getting the better of the Celtics. 

The win was much-needed as it kept the hopes alive for the Celtics, avoiding a 3-0 hole against the heavily favoured Nets.
