With 36 points, Tatum topped both teams in scoring. In addition, he contributed eight assists and ten rebounds without giving the ball away. In the NBA Playoffs’ history, that is a first.

Following the game, Celtics insider Taylor Snow wrote on X (previously Twitter), “Jayson Tatum is the 1st player in NBA history with at least 36 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists while committing 0 turnovers in a playoff game.”
