Jayson Tatum's elimination-game resume is impressive, with a record of 8-5 overall and 3-0 this postseason. He scored 33 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, handed out seven assists, blocked two shots, and got a steal in the Celtics' Game 4 win against the Miami Heat. Tatum has a history of stepping up in elimination games, including his performance in the last round against the Philadelphia 76ers. His numbers from 13 career elimination games are better than his regular-season marks. The Celtics have set up Tatum to potentially play four games in a row and extend their one-game winning streak to advance in the playoffs.
