CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - JANUARY 16: Jayson Tatum #0 of the Boston Celtics drives to the basket while guarded by Mason Plumlee #24 of the Charlotte Hornets in the third quarter during their game at Spectrum Center on January 16, 2023 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The Boston Celtics took it to the Charlotte Hornets Tuesday night, winning 130-118 and former Blue Devil Jayson Tatum had a spectacular night, scoring 51 points and doing something else that was kind of amazing: he broke Larry Bird’s franchise mark for the most 50-point games.
