Tatum finished 11-for-23, but he was 10-for-15 inside the arc (and an icy 1-for-9 outside of it). His first eight field goals were all either dunks or layups.
The good news for the Celtics? Tatum has been elite in isolation this season - 1.20 points per possession entering Tuesday's game, by far the best mark in the NBA.
Porzingis had a huge first quarter even though he needed to take a break at the two-minute mark after crumpling to the ground in a scary moment for Celtics fans.
Even Peyton Watson, a very promising young wing defender for the Nuggets, didn't really have anything for the Celtics' MVP candidate, showcasing Tatum's dominance.
