Jayson Tatum went off for 46 points on 17-of-32 shooting (7-of-15 3-pointers) and added nine rebounds, four assists, and one block as the Celtic beat the Bucks 108-95 to force a Game 7. Analysis: Tatum stepped into the matrix in the fourth quarter and put the Celtics on his back after the Bucks had cut the lead from 18 all the way down the six with just under nine minutes to go. He then scored 11 straight points to push the lead back to 12 and the Celtics were able to breathe from then on. His 46 points tied for the second-most in franchise history facing elimination. This was truly one of the most impressive performances of the postseason, and we will now get a game seven in Boston on Sunday.
