After helping the United States outlast France, 87-82, and win it all at the Tokyo Olympics, Jayson Tatum has one simple request.
“‘Gold Medal Jay’ when you see me please!” Tatum tweeted early Saturday morning.
The Celtics star scored 19 points and added seven rebounds for Team USA in the finale, hitting 8 of his 14 shots, 3 of 5 3-pointers, and adding a steal. France — anchored by Rudy Gobert, former Celtics player Evan Fournier and Guerschon Yabusele — consistently hung around, but Tatum and Kevin Durant were key as the United States found a way.
