Video: Jayson Tatum ties franchise high with 60 points in comeback win over Spurs
Jayson Tatum had a record night on Friday versus the San Antonio Spurs. Tatum shares this record, but he's in very good company. The lone time a Celtic has hit 60 points was in 1985 when Larry Bord accomplished the feat. Bird had bested his teammate Kevin McHale, who had gone off for a then franchise high a week prior. Tatum also bested a recent 50 point club performer, but it was himself, since you'll recall he cracked that club earlier this month.
In case you want to re-watch Larry Bird's 60 point night as a bookend to Tatum's tonigh, here you go:
