Jayson Tatum is starting to look more and more like vintage Jayson Tatum.

The Boston Celtics reached a major milestone Wednesday, posting his first triple-double since returning from a torn Achilles in early March. He finished with 25 points, 18 rebounds and 11 assists in a 147-129 win over the Miami Heat.
