Wednesday night, Boston Celtics fans got exactly what they’ve been longing for seemingly all season long — a stellar performance from both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

For the most part of 2021-22, it has been an unfortunately common theme where we’ve seen either Tatum explode and Brown take the backseat or vice versa.

In the C’s rematch against the Indiana Pacers, however, the star duo seemed to break this theme which, ultimately, ended up in a rather impressive 119-100 victory.

Holding onto the lead from the opening tip-off to the final buzzer, the shamrocks played an impressive brand of basketball all around that saw efficient shooting from the floor (51 percent) and from deep (47 percent), lacking turnovers (have struggled in this department these past few weeks), and, as we’ve already stated, quality outings from their franchise players.

Combined the Jays went on to drop 67 points (56 percent of the team’s final score) to go along with 12 rebounds, and seven assists on 58 percent shooting from the floor and 55 percent shooting from downtown.

Of course, however, while Wednesday may have proven to be the Tatum and Brown show (which it should be every single night if this team want to turn things around), there were plenty of other quality performance put forth by the other 11 members of Ime Udoka’s squad to take to the hardwood.

That said, like always, there still were some who wound up severely underwhelming.
