It might sound wild to say it, but just weeks back from his return from an Achilles tendon injury, star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is looking like his old self, and was the driving force in a Celtics road win vs. the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday (March 29) evening.

"I'm obviously I'm still working through it, but I say all the time, I just want to feel better than I did last game and feel stronger, feel more confident, get my conditioning up," said Tatum. "So that's what I'm trying to do. " The victory was the 50th of the Celtics so-called (at least by many fans and analysts) 'gap year.
