Nick Span showed mad love to Jason Tatum last night at Madison Square Garden during their 112-106 win over the Celtics. The Boston star was back from injury, and the crowd gave him a warm ovation right in introductions, which ain't the usual vibe in that rivalry. Tatum was straight grateful, saying it meant a lot with how the leagues been hyping his return this season. He dropped 24 points, grabbed 13 boards, and dished 8 assists. But his shot was ice cold at 7 of 22 from the field, and 2 of 10 from deep.

Boston's now 54 and 26, still chasing that number 2 seed in the east. The Celtics get another shot Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans, who are 26 and 54, but Tatum skipping the back-to-back to stay, fresh.
