Nba Players React To Jayson Tatum S Game Winning Layup Wild Finish Between Celtics And Nets

The Celtics entered the fourth quarter with an 11-point lead, but Nets star Kyrie Irving heated up to put Brooklyn in the driver’s seat. The seven-time All-Star scored 18 of his game-high 39 points in the final period and hit a 3-pointer with 45.9 seconds remaining to give the Nets a three-point lead.

Then, magic happened.

Following a dunk from Jaylen Brown, the Celtics got a big-time stop that set the stage for Jayson Tatum to score the game-winning layup at the buzzer.

Safe to say, NBA players were excited.

Game 2 between the Celtics and Nets is on Wednesday, April 20. You might want to clear your calendar.
