This is what Jayson Tatum is for. Just days after hitting a buzzer-beater to secure victory for the Boston Celtics<\/a>, he took over once again against the Orlando Magic, scoring whenever his team needed him most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may sound exaggerated, but that is exactly what happened. At one point, Joe Mazzulla appeared confident his team could win without bringing Tatum back on, even deciding against a planned substitution. However, Orlando’s late comeback forced Boston to rely on their star to put the game beyond reach and secure a 108-97 victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a game dominated almost from start to finish by the Celtics, Orlando had one last glimmer of hope when they cut the deficit to just four points with four minutes to go. Right then, Tatum went into action, hitting two trademark baskets and then setting up Neemias Queta and Paul George with an assist each. Game over<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
