Jayson Tatum drops career-high 41 points in blowout win over Pelicans

While the Duke Blue Devils were in the midst of a demolition of the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on Saturday night in their new 'Brotherhood' jerseys, it was one of the members of that iconic Brotherhood that was making his own history.

Former Blue Devil Jayson Tatum scored a career-high 41 points against the New Orleans Pelicans in a 140-105 win for the Boston Celtics.

Tatum made 16-of-22 from the field, 6-of-9 from 3-point range, and he made all three of his free throws in addition to gathering six rebounds, four assists, and three steals while only committing one foul and he did not turn the basketball over.
