Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is continuing to prove why he's one of the best young players in the NBA.

During Tuesday's Game 2 matchup against the Toronto Raptors, Tatum faked out Pascal Siakam with a pass to make a 3-point shot.

Jayson Tatum, who's currently in his third season in the NBA, has played phenomenal in the playoffs thus far. Prior to Game 2, the Celtics star was averaging  25.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in the playoffs. Furthermore, he's shooting 49.0 percent from the field and 44.4 percent from three-point range.

During Tuesday's matchup against the Raptors, Tatum set a new playoff care-high with 34 points. With that performance, Tatum becomes the first player in Celtics' postseason history with three 30-point games before their 24th birthday.
