Tatum puts up 44 points to lead Celtics to 115-101 win over Hornets
Jayson Tatum followed up his 54 point eruption on the Nets Sunday with a not too shabby 44 points tonight in Charlotte. Six Celtics scored in double digits in the 115 to 101 win.
There was a point this season where it looked like the Celtics might not even hit 40 wins on the season, but with a month to go they have hot that threshold. Their record now stands at 40-27 as Boston continues to climb the Eastern Conference standings.
After a brutal shooting start to the season, Jayson Tatum's percentages have now climbed up to:
— Marc D'Amico (@Marc_DAmico) March 10, 2022
- 44.2% FGs
- 34.0% 3FGs
- 85.1% FTs
All three are high-water marks for this season.
Ime Udoka: “What I pointed out to the group was Derrick and Marcus — 17 assists and one turnover (between them).”
