I have to hand it to Jayson Tatum – he is having one hell of a season.
In Saturday’s game versus the Hawks he had 34 points, 15 boards, 6 assists, and 5 3-pointers – this is the first time a Celtics has ever done that.
Only 7 people in NBA history have ever done it.
Tatum, per 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Sean Grande, also became the first player in Celtics history to tally at least 34 points, 15 rebounds, six assists and five 3-pointers made in a regular season game.
Jayson Tatum Saturday night in Atlanta…
34 Points
15 Rebounds
6 Assists
5 3'sHe's the first player in Celtics history, and just the 7th in NBA history to do it (Westbrook, Harden (4), Ginobili, Cousins, Doncic (4), Vince Carter).

I will say that this is one of those stats that leaves you scratching your head because who the hell is tracking this but it is impressive nonetheless.
