Celtics Defeat Nets Amid Tatum's Ankle Controversy

The Boston Celtics defeated the Brooklyn Nets 139-114, with Jayson Tatum leading the way with 36 points, 10 assists, and nine rebounds. Tatum, who has been dealing with a minor ankle sprain sustained during a controversial game against the Milwaukee Bucks, played without restrictions. The incident with the Bucks included a missed foul call when Giannis Antetokounmpo stepped under Tatum's landing space, sparking debates among fans and criticism from Tatum. Despite these challenges, Tatum remains committed to setting a strong tone for the team. The Celtics will continue their NBA Cup campaign against the Toronto Raptors next.
