Heading into the game, Tatum has said that he has learned from his past mistakes.

“You put the work in,” Tatum said ahead of this game. “I’ve played enough games, had enough tough shooting nights. I mean, Game 6 last year was the prime example against Philly. I couldn’t hit a shot. But all good really, really good scorers know it just takes one to change your momentum, change how you feel about yourself shooting the ball. And once you see one go in, you just feel a lot better about yourself.”

This season, Jayson Tatum has been averaging 28.4 points, 8.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists. He is also in the MVP conversation behind Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid and Luka Doncic after the Celtics' good start.
