Jayson Tatum appears close to 100% with 25 points in Game 3 win

Jayson Tatum shined in the Celtics' 108-100 win over the 76ers in Game 3 of their first-round series.

Tatum scored 25 points, including a crucial 3-pointer, despite not being fully recovered from a ruptured Achilles tendon.

The Celtics now lead the series 2-1.

Tatum and Jaylen Brown combined for 19 of Boston’s 29 points in the fourth quarter.

Philadelphia played without Joel Embiid, but Tyrese Maxey scored 31 points to keep the game close.

Tatum's return has been impressive, though he admits he's not yet at full strength.

Game 4 is set for Sunday in Philadelphia.
