Jayson Tatum talks about his opening night game-winning shot
The Boston Celtics need Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown to carry them at both ends of the floor in the 2020-21 NBA season, and they delivered in a major Wednesday night.
The C's earned a 122-121 opening night win over reigning MVP winner Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks in thrilling fashion.
Tatum drilled a game-winning 3-point shot with 0.4 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Antetokounmpo was fouled on the ensuing Bucks possession but missed his second foul shot, which would've tied the score.
