Boston got another notch in the win column with a wire-to-wire game with the Golden State Warriors to kick off their West Coast road trip. Jayson Tatum has been voted as our Player of the Game by the fans in a landslide!
Jayson Tatum narrowly missed out on a double-double, scoring 27 points on 9/19 shooting (4/10 from deep) to go with 9 rebounds and 3 assists. It was a roughly-officiated game and things got very physical, but despite that Boston managed to eek out a win, and Tatum was a big part of that.
Tatum looked poised and in control, without fear or hesitation to get into his bag of tricks to create space and capitalize on it offensively. Both Brown and Tatum garnered a lot of respect from Steve Kerr after the game, and expectedly so, as Boston has always managed to give the Warriors a great deal of fight over the years. Boston will have to take that momentum from last night into their matchup against Sacramento this evening, another late start at 10 PM EST.
