Leads C's in scoring in Game 5 win Tatum generated 31 points (8-22 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 12-14 FT), 10 boards, six assists and one steal over 43 minutes in Friday's 121-108 Eastern Conference finals Game 5 win.

Impact Tatum and Jaylen Brown led an impressive 41-point third quarter after a terrible first half. In fact, Tatum appeared to be in danger of repeating the scoreless first half that occurred in Game 4. Frankly, it was the Celtics defense led by Brown, Tatum and Daniel Theis that sparked the third quarter offensive burst. It took Boston half the game to figure out it should push the pace and drive to the basket. Tatum wasn't efficient, but in the second half he put his head down, bulled his way to bucket and drew lots of Miami fouls. On a few occasions, Tatum also dished to Brown for a few open three-pointers. The C's are still down 3-2 in the series. Tatum and his teammates will look to keep the positive momentum going in Game 6 on Sunday.

Near triple-double in Game 3 win Tatum produced 25 points (9-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 14 rebounds, eight assists and two turnovers over 41 minutes in Saturday's Eastern Conference finals Game 3 win over the Heat.

Impact Tatum and Jaylen Brown asserted themselves in a very aggressive manner throughout the Game 3 win, aided by the stabilizing return of Gordon Hayward. Boston ran fewer isolation plays for Tatum and focused more on ball movement and driving to the basket. The new approach led to Tatum dishing an impressive eight dimes, one shy of his career playoff high. The return of Hayward (ankle) also prevented Miami from throwing more double-teams at Tatum. In general, Boston applied more ball pressure on defense, which led to more easy transition buckets on the offensive end. A few Miami turnovers led to poster-worthy dunks for Tatum. The versatile forward must now wait until Wednesday for Game 4 versus Miami. The Heat still have a two games to one lead over Boston.
