Jayson Tatum presents his strong candidacy for NBA MVP
The Celtics' star delivered a colossal performance to defeat the Antetokounmpo-led Bucks in an intense match
If he was already one of the candidates to compete for the MVP of the NBA this year, Jayson Tatum is likely to have taken the lead in the race after a colossal performance in the last game of the Boston Celtics. The reigning champions defeated the Milwaukee Bucks in a highly contested match.
The Celtics' star played throughout the last quarter, and he did so at a superlative level. Tatum finished the game with 34 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 12 of 20 shooting, and a +14 on the floor.
The game was decided 105-111 in favor of Boston. Tatum's numbers in the last quarter were as follows: 14 points, 100% FG (5 of 5), 100% 3P (2 of 2), 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 0 turnovers.
Tatum's performance gains more value when considering that the Bucks were already 100% healthy after regaining Khris Middleton, and that Milwaukee had won 8 of their last 10 games.
