From espn:
“ This season, he has been able to increase both his activity and his efficiency from downtown, making an impressive 39.4% of his 7.1 attempts per game, while simultaneously picking better shots inside the arc. The results are encouraging ...
... but the execution isn't always consistent. In Friday's restart opener against the Bucks and their top-ranked defense, Tatum was frozen, sinking only two of his 18 shots and hurting Boston's ability to steal a win. Then on Sunday vs. Portland, Tatum bounced back with a huge game, scoring 34 points on 22 shots and looking like the best player on the court.
Here's the thing: Boston's bubble fate depends on whether Tatum can play the way he did Sunday against top defenses -- you know, teams such as Milwaukee and Toronto, which rank No. 1 and No. 2 in defensive rating. Tatum has had an incredible season, but he has yet to prove he can do this every night. -- Kirk Goldsberry“
