NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Jayson Tatum is turning his attention to the Boston Celtics’ bid for an NBA title after scoring an All-Star Game record 55 points.

SALT LAKE CITY —

But with the showcase showdown behind him, the 24-year-old forward who is averaging 30.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.5 assists is now focused on sparking the NBA overall-leading Celtics to a crown. He has learned how important the final weeks of the regular season can be in the overall championship chase.

At a league-best 42-17, the Celtics are just ahead of Milwaukee atop the Eastern Conference with Philadelphia third at 38-19 followed in order by Cleveland and the Brooklyn Nets, who figure to sink after dealing away stars Kevin Durant to Phoenix and Kyrie Irving to Dallas. He said the Nuggets enjoy the fact that other clubs receive more attention than Denver even though they are at the top.

“It’s going to be incredible,” Durant said of the Doncic-Irving partnership. “It’s going to be tough to guard them.”
