Poor showing in first Orlando game Tatum eked out five points (2-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in Friday's 119-112 loss to the Bucks. Impact Sadly, Tatum was actually 1-17, but was credited with a made shot early when the Bucks accidentally tipped a shot in for Boston. Guarding Giannis Antetokounmpo and leading the C's in shot attempts may have required too much effort from All-Star Tatum in the first regular-season game back from the sports stoppage. Heading into Friday, Tatum had been shooting 44.8 percent on the season, so one should expect a bounce-back game from the high-scoring forward Sunday versus the Trail Blazers. With Kemba Walker (knee) on a minutes restriction, look for Boston to continue to look to Tatum as its first option on offense.
