Jayson Tatum Made NBA History In Celtics-Magic Game

On Friday night, the Boston Celtics lost to the Orlando Magic (in Florida) by a score of 95-93.

Despite the surprising loss, Jayson Tatum put up 36 points, nine rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block while shooting 10/22 from the field and 4/10 from the three-point range in 39 minutes of playing time.

He also made NBA history by moving ahead of Hall of Famer Ray Allen for (2,749) for 38th on the all-time playoff scoring list.

Following Allen, the next player for Tatum to pass will be Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing (2,813).

Via HoopsHype: “LeBron James tied Kevin McHale in playoff blocks and is now No. 9 in NBA history.

Also: Jayson Tatum (age 27) passed Ray Allen in scoring for No. 38 all-time. Jaylen Brown tied John Stockton at No. 46.”

At just 27, Tatum will have a lot of time to continue climbing the all-time list.

Via StatMuse: “Jayson Tatum has passed John Havlicek in 30-point playoff games (31) by a Celtic.

Only Larry Bird has more.”

The Celtics are still ahead of the Magic 2-1 in their first-round series.

Game 4 will be on Sunday (also in Orlando).

Via Nick DePaula: “This is fun.

For Game 3, Jayson Tatum is wearing the Paolo Banchero PE of the Tatum 3s — against Paolo.

Design is inspired by Paolo’s Yin & Yang and his “No/Know Pressure” tattoos.”

Tatum is in his eighth NBA season (all with the Celtics).
