Boston Celtics players seem to have the worst luck with their teeth. Last season, Derrick White crashed face-first on the court. Looks like he inaugurated the teeth-drama for the C’s! His smashed upper tooth stole the spotlight, leaving him bloodied and in need of a dental fix. Now, Jayson Tatum might join the club. After a heated clash with the Raptors, Tatum feels something odd about his tooth. What’s with the Celtics and their dental drama?

The Toronto Raptors went all-out on the Celtics at TD Garden on Saturday’s game night. For the crowd, it was kind of hard to believe how the reigning champions were struggling to hold their ground. However, when the clock strikes need o’clock for Boston- JT emerges as the savior. This time was no expectation because, in a clutch game that trickled into OT, the 26-year-old forward showed what’s his build.

You wouldn’t call it the Boston Celtics‘ best game. However, now they have an 11-3 record while the Dinosaurs stay miles away with a disappointing 2-12. Now coming back to Jayson Tatum who spoke to the media after the game. A reporter asked Tatum what happened in the first half when someone hit him in the face. “Jayson you got hit in the face in the first half. What happened there?” he inquired.

Tatum responded: “He smacked the sh** out of me. I thought my tooth came out.” He went on to touch and check his tooth and said: “It was loose a little but I was fine.” Well, it looks like the Raptors wanted to give the Celts a tough time on the court; to be honest, they succeeded. An absolute thriller gripped fans, leaving them on edge and creating a game to remember for days.

But in the end, Jayson Tatum hit a game-winning three in overtime to move the C’s past Toronto. The 5x NBA All-Star turned a disappointing end to regulations into a heroic bounce-back finish to seize a 126-123 win. Moreover, everything happened because of a single shot.
