Twitter goes wild over Jayson Tatum’s 50-piece in Washington
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum must have heard all of the chatters about his three-point struggles because he was simply on fire Sunday against the Washington Wizards. Tatum had 51 points, 10 rebounds, nine threes and seven assists in a dominant performance to lead the Celtics to victory. It was Tatum’s 5th career 50-point game, according to ESPN.
Tatum also had just one turnover and one foul all night. He finished plus-31 on the night, which wasn’t even the game-high despite the 51-points. That title belonged to guard Marcus Smart, who also had standout performance Sunday. Smart was a plus-36 with 11 points, six assists, four rebounds and four steals.
Twitter rightfully went off after checking the box score Sunday. Here are some of the best tweets of the night.

Look out everyone, Tatum is having his once-every-three-months good game where he doesn’t shoot 14% from three we are about to be inundated with tweets about how the Celtics can win it all with this core.
