Talk about a rack attack.
Of course, the basket was counted after replay deemed that the ball glanced off of Boucher's hand on the way down the cylinder, giving Tatum a “stocking stuffer,” if you will.
The jam was actually one of the only memorable scoring plays of the afternoon for Tatum, who shot just 5-of-18 from the floor and finished the game with 11 points. Nevertheless, the former Duke star also chipped in with six assists, nine rebounds and a pair of steals, and he finished the game +21 in terms of plus-minus.
Tatum entered Wednesday's game averaging 21.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists. He and fellow wing Jaylen Brown continue to develop as stars for a Celtics team that improved to 21-7 with the win.
The third-year man is prone to stretches of inconsistency, but he is also proving himself as one of Boston's most capable all-around stars, and he has been laude for his defensive efforts throughout the season.
