In his third NBA All-Star Game, Jayson Tatum dropped eight points, four rebounds, and five assists. Tatum shot 4-for-10 from the field and 0-for-4 from three-point range.
The 23-year-old started the contest in place of Kevin Durant who was unable to play due to injury. He ended up playing 20:20 minutes on the night, sitting out the entirety of the fourth quarter.
Tatum was interviewed in the first half of the contest by the TNT broadcast table. Reggie Miller asked him about the Boston Celtics’ recent surge and the reasons behind it.
