The Boston Celtics on Tuesday cruised out to a hot start against the Memphis Grizzlies in their penultimate seeding game of the season, and didn’t let off the gas.
And while Jayson Tatum’s growth as a passer has been evident in the NBA bubble, he continued to show it off with a highlight-reel play.
With the Celtics leading the Grizzlies 35-21 early in the second quarter, Tatum dribbled out of a double team at half-court towards the 3-point arc and threw a perfect lob to Marcus Smart, who made a run towards the far low post.
Smart got some decent hang time before slamming down the alley-oop.

That’s the energy we like to see.
