Jayson Tatum had a Game 7 for the ages. In the Boston Celtics' 112-88 win over the Philadelphia 76ers, Tatum absolutely took over, scoring 51 points on 17-of-28 shooting and adding 13 rebounds and five assists.
Tatum particularly turned things on in the third quarter, dropping 17 points while the Sixers could only manage 10 as a team.
Tatum's game was incredible even by the postseason standards of the Celtics. It's the most points anyone has ever scored in a Game 7, passing Stephen Curry (50).
Tatum is only the fourth Celtics player in playoff history with at least 40 points and 10 rebounds in a game, joining Paul Pierce, Sam Havlicek and one Larry Bird.
