Jayson Tatum hits game-winner, Boston Celtics win ugly one vs. Raptors

Jayson Tatum’s Redemption: A Game-Winning Moment for the Boston Celtics

Jayson Tatum had two shots to win the game against Toronto, and he got the second one to fall, but he almost never got that second chance.

In this episode, John Karalis from Boston Sports Journal chats about the Celtics’ tough win over a shorthanded Raptors squad and why it was good, at least in this ONE case, that Tatum got a second shot at a game-winner. Also, Al Horford’s strong fourth quarter and Jaylen Brown’s mostly good but somewhat mixed night on the court. Plus, there’s a look at Boston’s ongoing issues with defending the paint, as the Raptors racked up 78 points inside.

Can the Celtics keep it together until Kristaps Porzingis is back? Dive into the conversation for a laid-back breakdown of the team’s current vibe and standout performances.

  5. Well the stats say Tatum is the most clutch player in the league since 2019. And the other fact is, all the stars in the league miss them more than they make them by a lot.

  8. Here’s Perk in a nutshell:

    Tatum missing the shot at the end of regulation – “break up the J’s the Celtics need to go to brown more…

    Tatum hitting the game winner – “Jayson Tatum is 10 havlicek’s in 1 player…” 🤣🤣🤣

  11. Not thrilled with yet another night of an opponent feasting in the paint, but a W is a W. And I forget who said it postgame, but championship/veteran squads will always find a way to win. Love this team and cannot WAIT until Tuesday. LFG!!! Thanks JK☘️🔒

  13. ❤❤ will holiday be back for the next game will jaylen Brown continue to be a monster 💀 and my big question is when is holiday due back I think they just gave him the night off when he scores 14 or more last year they were just about perfect

  21. Making a Podcast about the game with Toronto and not talking for a second about Neemias Queta is intellectual and professional dishonesty; ill will or just forgetfulness? Not even a reference to the block and rebound that made the winning shot possible?

  25. Didn't John say all last season that -> "Celtics shouldn't care about points they allow in the paint. Opponents can have them as much as they want."
    What changed?

  27. I mean we had a jaylen airball last time with ball movement. But wasn't there a stat where jayson had like 15+ end of game attempts compared to the next person?

  28. Thanks John. Better late than never with your podcast. I also sense(like me), that you are very disappointed with the play of the team even in a victory. Indeed, they were lucky to win this(it had the same vibes as The Hawks loss). I also agree wholeheartedly with the lackluster play in the paint. I hope Mazzulla can address this. Yes, having KP back will help, but they should be playing a lot better(especially at home against inferior opponents)!

  30. John u may be thinking a bit too hard about this last shot thing lol. JT had plenty of buzzer beater’s under his belt also it doesn’t matter wut the outside world says this team is locked in on one another thy hve shown this time and time again.

  31. I expected trans this season to come out and play Boston hard. Also, teams are trying to beat Boston by taking 3s. It is up to the scouts and coaches to adapt to what opposing teams are doing as the season continues.
