Jayson scored 5 three-pointers in his team’s victory.

Jayson Tatum finished with 30 points and notched 5 3-pointers to secure the Boston Celtics triumph against the Utah Jazz 126-97 at TD Garden in Boston, MA.

The Celtics never trailed, as they led at 1 time with 36 points in the 1st half and scored 17 times from the 3-point line. The East Conference leaders secured their 7th win in their last 8 matches.

It was Jayson’s 14th 30-point match this campaign. Kristaps Porzingis helped with 19 points, while Jrue Holiday notched 14 in Boston’s victory. The organization has notched 120 or more points in 9 consecutive matches.

The defeat ended a 3-match winning streak for Jazz on a road trip to play against the Eastern Conference’s top 3 franchises, as they will face the 49ers and the Bucks next. After that, Utah will host the reigning champion Nuggets at the beginning of the next week.

Lauri Markkanen finished with 17 points, 5 boards, and 5 assists as Utah dropped to 5-15 away from home since the beginning of the season.
