On Tuesday, November 10, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown went toe-to-toe in a competitive game for the first time in their NBA careers as the Boston Celtics secured an impressive win over the Philadelphia 76ers. A lot had been made of the Tatum and Brown matchup, with many wondering who would walk away with bragging rights at the end of the night.
Ultimately, Tatum and the Celtics drew first blood in the season series. Nevertheless, for some Celtics fans, the result mattered less than watching how Tatum and Brown handled being back on the same court. After all, we've all seen the reporting on their off-court relationship and how it's declined since Brad Stevens parted ways with Brown this past summer.
After Boston's win, Chris Forsbery and Kayal
Burton of NBC Sports Boston discussed the Tatum and Brown matchup. The duo shared their thoughts on Brown opting to ignore Tatum, how each All-Star looked to defend the other, and how Brown quickly found himself in foul trouble during the first half of the game.
