YouTube Gold: Banchero vs. Tatum
AKA Orlando vs. Boston
Almost every night in the NBA there is a game involving two or more members of The Brotherhood and on Friday it was a special matchup between the Orlando Magic and the Boston Celtics, which means that Paolo Banchero and Jayson Tatum got to get after each other.
Tatum got the better of it, finishing with 30 points, six rebounds and four assists to Banchero’s 14 points, four rebounds and five assists.
Tatum shot better too, hitting 11-22 (but just 2-9 on threes) to Banchero’s 5-17 and 1-4.
Some of the highlights are just beautiful. Tatum is well established as an elite NBA player but Banchero is still evolving. He’s well on his way though.
Both players also do an excellent job of involving their teammates and getting them to play to their potential.
Boston won this round, 128-111, but these guys will keep running into each other and, at least at times, it’s going to be epic and, like this one, a lot of fun.
