Unreal play by Jayson Tatum.
It looks easy, but it wasn’t. JT mad a cut from the baseline and he get two oppoonents at the rim. Al Horford was all alone because of Tatum’s move to the basket.

Jayson Tatum loves Game 3s. Saturday, he may have delivered the best pass of his career.
“Hang it in the f**king Louvre,” said Jaylen Brown.

Jayson Tatum in Game 3….
36 points
10 rebounds
8 assists
0 turnovers
Only five have ever done it in NBA history (Bird, Drexler, Vince, Giannis and Jokic (twice))…all in the regular season.
It had never been done in an NBA Playoff game. – 2:05 AM

New ESPN story: Some brilliant play from Jayson Tatum helped put the Boston Celtics on the verge of another great escape against the Indiana Pacers.
Then, a moment of defensive brilliance from Jrue Holiday put Boston one win away from the NBA Finals.

More on this storyline
“I trusted that he was gonna be there,” Tatum said, and Hoford’s seventh triple of the contest — five of which were assisted by Tatum — splashed through cotton. It’s the type of playmaking brilliance that earned Tatum first-team All-NBA honors this week for the fourth straight season. It was the type of postseason pass that will sizzle on highlight reels well beyond when this Celtics’ run stops cooking, something that deserves commemoration. “Hang it in the f**king Louvre,” said Jaylen Brown, the Celtics’ All-Star wing. -via Yahoo! Sports / May 26, 2024
“I mean, can’t speak highly enough about Jrue,” said Tatum, who had a terrific game for the Celtics, finishing with 36 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists and no turnovers in 44 minutes. “The ultimate teammate competitor, obviously a champion, wasn’t at shootaround today, he was sick. Dealing with chills and stuff like that. And we’ve all been there, how tough that is, to fight through it, and for him to come out there and lay it all on the line for us, make the game-winning play essentially, especially on the defensive end. -via ESPN / May 26, 2024
