After going 17-19 in the first three months of this season, the Boston Celtics have managed to turn things around ever since. In the 20 games the Cs have played so far in 2022, Jayson Tatum and co. have a solid 14-6 record.
Defeating the Brooklyn Nets 126-91 at the Barclays Center, Ime Udoka’s boys have now won 6 straight games. Playing against an out-of-form Brooklyn team, Tatum and co. never trailed Steve Nash’s boys throughout the contest.
JT played merely 27 minutes and ended up scoring 19 points, grabbing 5 rebounds, and dished out 4 assists. The 3rd time All-Star was absolutely efficient, shooting 63.6% from the field and a +/- of 32.
