In a jaw‑dropping twist that has lit up social media, the Boston Celtics have compiled an astonishing 10–2 record this season in games played without their talismanic forward Jayson Tatum. It went viral after their commanding 127–102 triumph over the New York Knicks in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on May 14.

The Celtics were sparking it from three all night long, as they knocked down 22 threes on 49 attempts.
