Who Got It Done
Player Spotlight – Jayson Tatum
Jayson Tatum must have been upset about North Carolina defeating Duke in Coach K’s last game at Cameron because he took it out on the Brooklyn Nets, dropping 54 points on them in a 126-120 win that dropped the Nets below .500. Tatum scored in an array of ways, as the hapless Nets defenders were crash test dummies in this masterful performance. The 54-point explosion was Tatum’s fourth career 50-point performance, tying him with the great Larry Bird for most in team history.
