Tatum got off to a sizzling-hot start, shredding a lackluster Milwaukee squad for 16 first-quarter points. He was able to shift into cruise control as Boston built a 13-point halftime advantage. It wasn’t a particularly efficient shooting performance as he went just 1-of-8 from inside the arc, but knocked down 5-of-11 from long range. He wasn’t really needed in the second half as Boston’s extremely deep bench was able to take care of business against a struggling Milwaukee squad that lost Tyler Herro midway through the third quarter. The Celtics have a three-game week on tap featuring matchups against the 76ers, Raptors and Mavericks. All eyes will be on the highly-anticipated Tatum and Jaylen Brown matchup on Tuesday night.
