Miguel Cruz felt the same sense of awe as everybody else as he watched Jayson Tatum drop 51 points in the playoffs, but what he did following that experience was unique.

“We just all happened to watch the Celtics game and we were all shocked to see Jayson Tatum broke the record,” Cruz said. “He’s setting goals for himself, and I’m just like, ‘I like this, this is inspiring.’ I thought, ‘f— it, I’m going to Cambridge tomorrow to do a mural.’”
