BOSTON — – Jayson Tatum<\/a> buried a 17-foot jumper<\/a> at the overtime buzzer to cap a 40-point night, and the Boston Celtics<\/a> beat the Brooklyn Nets<\/a> 125-124 on Tuesday night for their third straight victory.<\/p>\n

Tatum finished 10 of 20 from the field and 18 of 22 from the free-throw line. Paul George<\/a> added 20 points and Derrick White<\/a> scored 16 for the Celtics, who have not lost since they blew a 22-point lead in their season opener at Detroit.<\/p>\n

Michael Porter Jr<\/a>. had 27 points and 12 rebounds for Brooklyn (0-4), and Julius Randle<\/a> scored 24 points.<\/p>\n

Nets rookie Mikel Brown Jr<\/a>. made a tying 3-pointer<\/a> with 0.2 seconds remaining in regulation. But in OT, he missed a layup with 2.3 seconds left to set up Tatum for the winning basket. Brown, the sixth pick in the NBA draft out of Louisville, finished with 17 points.<\/p>\n

Boston’s Mitchell Robinson<\/a> missed two free throws to with 3 seconds left in regulation, giving Brooklyn a chance at the tying 3. Robinson, a career 50.7% free-throw shooter, went 1 of 4 from the line and is 2 of 8 this season.<\/p>\n

With 33.7 seconds remaining in regulation, White slipped behind the defense and Tatum found him for a tiebreaking dunk<\/a>. White was fouled on the play and converted the free throw for a 114-111 lead.<\/p>\n
