It's a known fact that Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum is a walking bucket. Turns out, he's a pretty good dime-dropper too.

In the closing minutes of the first quarter between the Celtics and the Toronto Raptors at TD Garden on Thursday, Tatum challenged the teeth of the Raps' interior defense in the paint. Blanketed by four red shirts, the All-Star swingman changed his mind mid-air and somehow located his wide-open teammate Payton Pritchard in the left wing.

Pritchard made sure not to waste that spectacular find, as he splashed the triple to extend the Celtics' lead to double digits. Here's the beautiful connection.

Entering Thursday's game versus Toronto, Jayson Tatum and the rest of the Celtics are looking to bounce back from back-to-back defeats against the Phoenix Suns and the Utah Jazz. The former Duke University standout continues to lead Boston's attack this season, notching 26.8 points on 46.3 percent shooting from the field and 41.4 from deep in 18 games so far.

Tatum is also doing a better job setting up his teammates this season, averaging a career-best 4.1 assists prior to the game versus the Raptors. The 22-year-old scorer is already a handful for defenses with his ability to score from anywhere on the floor. But when Tatum starts to set-up plays like this for his teammates, he's practically impossible to defend.

While Tatum gives the Celtics a boost, Boston is trying to unlock Kemba Walker's potential.

Celtics coach Brad Stevens had more to say:

“We watched a bunch of clips today and everybody had been asking about Kemba’s struggles and nobody is putting more pressure on himself than Kemba, right?” Stevens said, defending Walker (h/t Celtics reporter Alexnadra Francisco of NESN).

“But we (Celtics) all can do better for Kemba. We can deliver the ball when it needs to be delivered to him and screen better for him. We can execute better so when the ball gets to the second side he’s got a little bit more space.”
