5 years agoBoston Celtics small/power forward Jayson Tatum scorched the Suns for 26 points during a win back on Nov. 18; he was at it again during a loss Saturday, finishing with 26 points on 10-for-20 shooting. In addition to the scoring, it was also his second consecutive double-double notched against Phoenix, as Tatum collected 10 rebounds to mark his sixth double-double of the year. He also added three steals and two assists to polish off his stat line, seeing an increased role all over the court without Kemba Walker and Jaylen Brown available. Tatum has now logged 40 and 39 minutes, respectively, in his last two outings, a workload that could remain high Monday against the Lakers should the team remain short-handed.--Jesse Borek
