The Boston Celtics crushed the Dallas Mavericks in a rematch of last season’s NBA Finals on Saturday night.

Jayson Tatum led all scorers with 24 points, grabbed five rebounds and dished out three assists across 35 minutes.

The Boston star made Celtics history by scoring his 13,000th career point, becoming the 11th player in franchise history to reach that mark, according to Celtics Stats.

Along with joining the elite players in Boston, Tatum became the seventh player in NBA history to reach the plateau before his 27th birthday. Only LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady and Wilt Chamberlin achieved the same at 26.

Through 43 games this season, Tatum is averaging 27.1 points, 9.0 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

In Boston’s 122-97 win over Dallas, all five Celtics starters scored 15-plus points for the first time since defeating the Indiana Pacers 129-124 on Jan. 30 last season.
