Jayson Tatum was as hot as the sun Tuesday night, as he played like an MVP to lead the Boston Celtics to a 122-118 overtime victory over LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in Hollywood. The Celtics started the game on the heels of a two-game losing skid, and there was no way Tatum […]

LeBron James is no stranger to pulling off dunks that would have ended someone else’s career had they actually gone through the net.
