Jayson Tatum was unstoppable on Friday night as he carried the Boston Celtics to a huge Game 3 victory over the mighty Brooklyn Nets. One of the most memorable moments from Tatum's outstanding effort involved an epic spin move that had Nets star Kevin Durant slipping.
Here's a look at Tatum leaving Durant in the dust with a quick spin move (h/t ESPN on Twitter):
Tatum did not finish the play but he came up with an impressive kick-out pass to Marcus Smart who connected on a three-pointer.
It was Tatum who was the star of the show in this one, as the Celtics All-Star finished with a game-high 50 points on 16-of-20 shooting, to go along with six boards, seven assists, two steals, a block, and five triples. He actually came into the game with a hamstring problem, but he also knew what was at stake for his squad, so he stepped up big time.
Thanks to Tatum's heroics, the Celtics were able to secure the win, 125-119. Boston has won their first game of the series and they have now cut down the series deficit to 2-1.
Put away your brooms, Nets fans. Jayson Tatum just made sure that there wasn't going to be a first-round sweep for his Celtics. This series is far from over.
