Jayson Tatum Says No to Double Overtime with This Three-Point Game Winner

The Celtics Win a Nail-Biter Against the Nets

Tatum's Shot Heard 'Round the World

The Boston Celtics pulled off a dramatic 126-120 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday night, thanks to a game-winning three-pointer from Jayson Tatum with just seconds remaining in regulation.

The Celtics led by as many as 19 points in the second half, but the Nets fought back to tie the game with just over two minutes remaining. Tatum then took over, scoring the Celtics' final seven points of the game, including the game-winner.

Tatum finished with a team-high 31 points, while Jaylen Brown added 26 points. Kevin Durant led the Nets with 34 points, and Kyrie Irving added 24 points.

Durant's Heroics Not Enough

Despite Durant's heroics, the Nets were unable to overcome Tatum's late-game heroics. Durant hit a three-pointer to tie the game with just seconds remaining, but Tatum responded with a three-pointer of his own to give the Celtics the win.

The Celtics improved to 32-25 with the win, while the Nets fell to 34-24. The two teams will meet again on Friday night in Boston.

Tatum's game-winning shot was a thing of beauty. He pulled up from well behind the three-point line and drained a shot that sent the Celtics bench into a frenzy.

It was a fitting end to a game that was filled with drama and excitement. The Celtics and Nets are two of the best teams in the Eastern Conference, and their game on Tuesday night was a preview of what could be a great playoff series.
