Tatum Leaps Past Kobe, Celtics Dominate Sixers

0:00It's April 19th. Welcome to Boston Celtics News today, AI Power Coverage of Your Squad. I'm Cory with the story. Jason Tatum just leaped past his idle Kobe Bryant on the all-time playoff three-pointers list. In the Boston Celtics dominant, 123-91, game won over the Philadelphia Sixers to kick off the 2000. 25-26 postseason, Tatum dropped 25 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, and dished 7 assists. Less than a year after a brutal Achilles injury, he's back in peak form. That key three he hit in the second quarter, bumped his career playoff tribbles to 293, sliding him into 11th place ahead of. Kobe Tatum opened up after the game about how grateful he felt, calling it the most excited and relaxed he's been in nine years of playoffs. He wasn't sure he'd even suit up this season, so just being out there meant everything. He stacked more history too, becoming just the seventh Celtic ever to hit 1000 playoff rebounds.

1:01Plus, he's now fifth among Eastern Conference players for most games with 25 or more points, trailing only legends like LeBron, Jordan, Bird, and Wade. Tatum's firing on all cylinders early, putting Boston in the driver's seat and etching his name higher on those historic charts as the series rolls. On.
