Tatum amassed 50 points in a 125-119 win over the Nets on Friday to reduce Brooklyn’s series lead to 2-1.

Tatum responded blow for blow with the members of the Big Three of the Nets in order to be the most productive player of the meeting. He was also able to count on the contribution of Marcus Smart with 23 points. Tristan Thompson recorded a brace with 19 points and 13 rebounds.

The Nets were in the game late in the game as a downtown basket reduced the Celtics’ lead to four points. Brooklyn ran out of time, however, to the delight of fans at TD Garden.

They were also hostile to former team player Kyrie Irving as he took the boos. He was also limited to six baskets on 17 occasions.

James Harden stood out with 41 points and 10 assists while Kevin Durant was equally dominant with 39 points and nine rebounds.
