Jayson Tatum sets more Celtics records as hot streak continues
Tatum's best performance came in Friday night's historic 32-point comeback win over the San Antonio Spurs at TD Garden. He scored 60 points in an overtime victory, tying Larry Bird's team record for the most points scored in a single game.
The 23-year-old star also is the first Celtics player to win three Player of the Week awards in a single season since Kevin Garnett did it during the 2007-08 championship season.
Tatum is averaging career highs with 26.5 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game this season. He was selected to the NBA All-Star Game in February for the second year in a row.
