"Boston trailed by three points, 111-108, with less than four minutes left before Brown stole the ball from Booker and fed it to Tatum for a layup.

"Tatum missed Boston's first 62 games while recovering from a torn Achilles suffered in last year's playoffs. He returned March 6, played three games, sat one out and now has played more than 32 minutes in back-to-back games."
