When multiple starters on the Boston Celtics’ roster did not have it going against the Orlando Magic at Amway Center on Saturday night, superstar Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum put the team on his back and got the Celtics their third straight win to keep the team undefeated.
It set the St. Louis native up to become the highest-scoring Celtic in the first three games of a season in club history. He has 100 points over his first three contests of the 2022-23 NBA season, and Boston needed all of his 40 points to be comfortable in their win against a much-improved Magic roster and Paolo Banchero.
Tatum also put up 8 boards, an assist, as many steals and 2 blocks while shooting 14-of-21 from the field, 4-of-10 from beyond the arc and 8-of-9 from the charity stripe.
