Celtics' Jayson Tatum gets 'icing on the cake' in playoff series against 76ers

BOSTON — Jayson Tatum hasn’t just surprised others with how well he has played since returning in March. He has even surprised himself at times, as he acknowledged Friday morning before a Celtics practice.“The short answer would be, yes,” Tatum said.The longer answer? No matter how much his perspective shifted when he tore his Achilles tendon last May, Tatum still wants more. As much as he accomplished during the final month of the regular season, it still bothered him that he didn’t always feel normal on the court. He doesn’t necessarily want to be a surprise. He wants to be himself.Advertisement
