His co-star, Jaylen Brown, also had a big night with 25 points, seven rebounds and five assists.
Mavericks star Luka Dončić notched another triple-double with 37 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, but it wasn’t enough to get past Boston.
The signature win from the Celtics had fans praising Tatum and Brown on social media.
Boston’s 10-game win streak is the longest by any team this season and the Celtics hold the top seed in the East by a wide margin at 47-12 on the season. Boston will have another test on Sunday as they face the Golden State Warriors.
