It wasn’t as smooth finish, but the Celtics were able to get their third-straight win thanks to brilliant performances by Jayson Tatum and Marcus Smart. Tatum out-dueled Ja Morant, showing how he’s leveled-up this season. Smart played perfectly for the second straight game. And the Celtics defense is showing real signs of improvement. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal discusses all that and why he’s impressed by Jaylen Brown, even though he had a bad game overall.

No disrespect to Memphis (I'm originally from there). Ja Morant and the Grizzlies put up a good fight, but Boston had the edge here. Jayson Tatum is our Superstar and MVP of the Celtics!

This is Tatum year to jump into top 3

@John serious question at this point at 23 or 24 whatever JT is stats say he is the greatest Celtic ever at scoring by that age. What are YOUR eyes saying John since you have seen all the legends outside of Bill Russell Teams. Love your breakdown of how Tatum has taken that next level to top 5 top 10 player.
Al was super efficient tonight. 3/3 downtown, 6/6 FG, 15 pts & 6 rebs in 32 mins. Seems like 9x out of 10 if he has a solid game C’s are in the win column. And don’t get me started on Smart. He was everywhere-taking charges, dishing out dimes…I know he can make some bonehead plays sometimes but the good def outweighs the bad. Superb job by Tatum and rest of defense to force Ja into a ton of threes tonight. And without Morant, this could’ve easily been a 20+ point thrashing for us.
