The 2021-22 season has both regrets and gains for Jayson Tatum and the Celtics, who made it all the way to the championship game and lost to the Golden State Warriors. At only 24 years old, Tatum is gradually learning to distribute the ball after double-teaming, make judgments after pick-and-rolls, and jump out to score at critical moments. After becoming the league's top star, he will pursue higher milestones.

Celtics 126 [win] 120 Magic
★ Jayson Tatum |40 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks
Robert Williams III is not expected to return until next year, and Al Horford is also exempt for this campaign. The Celtics' defense in the penalty area was empty-handed, which also allowed the Magic to actively attack the penalty area. In addition, Magic No. 1 pick Paolo Banchero started the season in hot form and won the game. 23 points, the whole game was back and forth, and the winner was not decided until the last moment.
Although Jaylen Brown was not feeling good in this game, Tatum scored 40 points on his own, and Derrick White stepped up and scored 27 points, repeatedly dampening the opponent's arrogance and helping the Celtics win their third consecutive victory in the season.
