Safe to say, Jayson Tatum is already in All-Star form.

Tatum went off with an all-around game that sparked a masterful 116-103 Boston Celtics stoppage of the San Antonio Spurs for a third straight win, Thursday, February 13. 

The All-Star starter finished with a double-double of 32 points and 14 rebounds on top of seven assists in yet another strong outing for the reigning champions. 

Kristaps Porzingis also put on an impressive 29-point output for the Celtics, who shot 18 threes and improved to 39-16 on the night two key starters in reigning Finals MVP Jaylen Brown and Jrue Holiday were out. 

Meanwhile, De'Aaron Fox paced the Spurs (23-29) with 23 points while Wembanyama ended up with a 17-point, 13-rebound double-double.  

After the All Star break, the Celtics return to play against the Sixers (20-33) in Philadelphia while the Spurs host the Phoenix Suns (26-27) next.
