Draymond Green Reacts to Jayson Tatum's Game 7 vs. 76ers

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum went off in Game 7 vs. the Philadelphia 76ers

After fighting through a rough shooting night in Game 6, Jayson Tatum's fourth quarter performance in that elimination game carried over into Game 7 on Sunday afternoon. With a dominant showing against the Philadelphia 76ers, Tatum drew praise from around the NBA world, including Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green:

Tatum was truly dominant in Game 7, leading his Celtics to a series-clinching victory over league MVP Joel Embiid and the 76ers. The Celtics will now face the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, and the winner of that series will face the Los Angeles Lakers or Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals.

Tatum's shooting has been up and down throughout these playoffs, but he has stuck with it, and delivered a historic Game 7 performance on Sunday afternoon. Even while he was struggling in Game 6, Tatum continued to battle, and came up with a dominant final quarter to force this Game 7 that he ended up dominating.

Tatum is a special player, and one of the NBA's most elite talents. Declaring himself one of the best players in the world after Game 6, Tatum proved that statement correct in Game 7, dominating the 76ers from start to finish.

Earning an excited reaction from Draymond Green, who saw Tatum up close in last year's Finals, the Celtics star has his team four wins from getting back to that stage.
