Two days before on their home court, the Boston Celtics had an ugly, frustrating loss to the Chicago Bulls, one that he saw. Coach Joe Mazzulla had to wait to go to the lawmakers (and get fined $35,000 for his troubles).
On Saturday night in the second game of the home-and-home series, Boston went into Chicago and Jayson Tatum made sure it wouldn’t happen again, dropping a 43-point triple-double over the Bulls.

Tatum joins Larry Bird as the only Celtics with a 40-point triple-double in franchise history.
Boston will play on Christmas Day against the 76ers, a better game on paper before the season started than it sounds now.
