Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Mediocre in loss

Tatum posted 17 points (8-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and a block in 40 minutes Thursday night during the Celtics' 128-123 loss to Milwaukee.

Tatum was seemingly unhobbled by the knee issue that kept him out of Boston's game on Wednesday. His 40 minutes played were a game high. He and Gordon Hayward combined to go 2-of-14 from three-point land, helping sink the Celtics. Tatum has still reached double-digit scoring in 30 straight games and can be regarded as a premier option at the power forward position.
