Eighty-three points from Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown weren't enough to push the Celtics past the first-place Cavs in a 123-116 loss at TD Garden.

Jayson Tatum almost made history, but even that couldn't prevent the Cavaliers from picking up a statement win in Boston.

And while we are on the topic, does it actually matter to the league if ANYONE is the so-called face of the NBA? Lately, it seems like the Association is simply doing a middling job marketing a number of talented young players (Tatum included) in the interest of securing the future of the NBA's popularity.
