On a night when the Boston Celtics faced off with the Brooklyn Nets<\/a> in 2022, it seemed like any other game in the league calendar. Perhaps there was some extra sauce perhaps involved, given the stars on Boston’s roster came from Nets picks and the exit of Kyrie Irving from the Celtics to join Brooklyn, but it was not hyped to be some momentous contest between these two Eastern Conference rivals.<\/p>\n

But by the end of the game, star Celtics forward Jayson Tatum made history, hanging 54 points on Kevin Durant and the Nets in the second-highest scoring game of the St. Louis native’s (and any Celtics besides himself not named Kevin McHale or Larry Bird) career.<\/p>\n

The folks behind the official “Boston Celtics” YouTube channel put together a clip of every basket made by the Duke alum in that historic game. Check it out below!<\/p>\n
