The Boston Celtics defeated the Brooklyn Nets in a thriller, clinching the victory 126-120. Jayson Tatum went absolutely bonkers again, making history with one of the NBA's best and Boston legend Larry Bird.  Tatum is well on his way to becoming a legend in the city of Boston, as he's one of the best players in the league today.

According to Stat Muse, Jayson Tatum has tied Larry Bird with the most 50-point games in franchise history. They each have four games of scoring at least 50 points after Tatum led the Celtics to a big win over the Nets. Keep an eye on him, as another 50 point performance will break the all-time franchise record.

With just under three minutes left on the clock, Jayson Tatum makes a sweet move to the hoop to secure his 51st point on the day. He later hit three free throws, finishing the game with 54 points, five rebounds, and three assists. It was a great performance as Brooklyn had no answers for the Celtics' star forward.

It's been fun watching Tatum grow into a superstar in Boston. There isn't much he can't do and is still relatively early on in his career. Based on how he's been playing, we should see Tatum surpass Larry Bird at some point. For now, the two share this historic Celtics record together, making it a cool moment for Boston fans.

Boston receives a few days of rest before facing off against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. Another victory maintains the Celtics' spot in the standings. Make sure to tune into Wednesday's game as Jayson Tatum could break the franchise record sooner than expected.
