On a chilly Tuesday night, the TD Garden was electric as the Boston Celtics faced off against the Atlanta Hawks, who were missing their star point guard, Trae Young. Despite this setback, the Hawks defied the odds, clinching a narrow victory with a final score of 117-116, pushing their season record to 5-7 after 12 games.
Jayson Tatum had a challenging night on the court, wrapping up the game with 20 points, six rebounds, and eight assists, alongside a steal and two blocks. However, his shooting accuracy left much to be desired, as he hit just 5 of 16 from the field and was a disappointing 2 of 9 beyond the arc, logging 37 minutes of play.
This subpar performance did not go unnoticed by NBA fans, many of whom took to social media to express their frustrations. One user, @AbelFCano, lamented, “Jayson Tatum is the anti clutch gene. Stop giving him the basketball at the end of games! #celtics”. Meanwhile, another account, @BetMGM, chided Tatum’s late-game performance with a sharp remark.
