Helping gain a 2-0 series lead, Jayson Tatum was in his bag making 8-12 three-pointers on his way to a team-high 33 points.
Jayson gave everybody something to “Taco Bout” with the Air Jordan 34 PE.

Doncic Controls Series Against Clippers
After a sterling performance in game 1, Luka Doncic put up more big numbers in a game 2 win against the Los Angeles Clippers. With 70 points combined, Luka narrowly passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the 2nd most points through the first two playoff games in NBA history, only behind George Mikan’s 75.
