Jayson Tatum Shines as Celtics Edge Timberwolves in Netflix-Fueled Rivalry

The Celtics secured a 107-105 victory, with Tatum responding to Anthony Edwards' trash talk from the 'Starting 5' documentary.

Jayson Tatum scored 26 points and led the Celtics to a narrow win over the Timberwolves, improving Boston's record to 14-3 this season.
The game marked the first meeting between Tatum and Anthony Edwards since Edwards' critical comments in Netflix's 'Starting 5' docuseries.
Tatum acknowledged the trash talk but emphasized his respect for Edwards, calling him a fierce competitor and a talented player.
Derrick White emerged as the standout performer for Boston, contributing 19 points, nine rebounds, five assists, and key defensive plays.
Both players were teammates during the 2024 Paris Olympics, where Edwards played a prominent role, while Tatum faced limited opportunities under coach Steve Kerr.
