The Celtics won their fourth straight game last night over the Raptors, 132-125. They were led by All-Star starter Jayson Tatum who managed to put together a super efficient performance.

Tatum scored 27 points on the night along with 12 rebounds and 5 assists. The real treat, however, was his shooting percentage. He shot 9/15 from the field and 3/6 from deep in what was one of his more efficient nights so far this season. There’s been a lot of concern over Tatum’s consistency this year, so this sort of efficient performance was very encouraging to see. He looked good all game and even hit a couple of clutch shots near the end. It was an all-around great showing from the young superstar.

He’ll be on Team Durant this weekend at the All-Star game. He’ll be teaming up with former teammate Kyrie Irving and longtime friend Bradley Beal. Jaylen Brown will be on the opposing side, so maybe we’ll see some one-on-one action during the game. Hopefully the All-Star break gives the C’s a chance to regain their energy and have a solid second half of the season.
