Basketball: Tatum outduels Embiid in Celtics win

The Boston Celtics claimed the opening game of the Eastern Conference first round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers, with Jayson Tatum their main man. The 22-year-old forward scored 32 points and added 13 rebounds in a 101-109 win at the Wide World of Sports resort in Orlando, Florida. He was ably assisted by Jaylen Brown who scored 29 points and made five three-pointers. Without the injured Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid did his best for the 76ers, but his 26 points were not enough to help clam the win.
