Jayson Tatum scored 32 at Kia Center on Sunday, making 8 of 19 shots and 15 of 17 free throws, with 7 assists and 2 blocks.

Tatum went to the locker room bleeding late in the first quarter after a head clash with Jamal Cain. He returned in the second.

He is the third Celtic to average 28 points and 7 assists over the first six games, after Larry Bird and John Havlicek.

Orlando tied it at 79. Boston answered 18-6, and Tatum's back-to-back pull-ups after it got to 97-93 sealed it.

Paul George scored 10 of his 17 in the fourth, including a three with 1:32 left for a 106-95 lead.

Anthony Black and Tristan da Silva scored 23 each. Franz Wagner had 12 assists but made 5 of 20 shots without Paolo Banchero.

Boston, 5-1, visits Houston on Monday, Nov. 2, at 8:30 p.m. ET. Orlando, 2-4, hosts Washington at 7:30 p.m. ET.
