No way around it, yesterday’s game with the Thunder was a dog fight and the Celtics were fortunate to come away with a 112-111 win on the road.

After struggling in the first half (7 points on 2-6 shooting), Tatum was able to light it up down the stretch. He had 19 points on a blistering 8-13 from the floor in the second half.
