Clutch af. Made all the difference when it mattered.
Over the last 5 seasons, Tatum has 9 game-tying or go-ahead FG inside the final 5 seconds of the 4th quarter and OT, the most in the NBA during that span.
Someone confirm this stat too
Updated: Since the NBA started tracking play-by-play data in 1996, there are 155 players who have attempted 25+ FGs to tie or take the lead in the final 24 seconds of the 4th quarter (playoffs included).
Jayson Tatum ranks 1st out of 155 with a 51.7% field goal percentage.
Kobe 27.6%
Steph 27.9%
Lebron 28.2%
Durant 30.6%
Bench won the game for them. That mf just riding along getting blasted by the Sixers starters all game, and finally hits a late shot that only won them the game because his team kept him in it.
Nobody in the league benefits being on a good team like Tatum does. He'd get exposed so badly if he was asked to actually lead a team.
