The One Celtics Player Emerging as another X-Factor In the Playoffs

The play of Sam Hauser has been one of the more low-key factors in Boston's renaissance to being a dominant force regardless of who plays.

BOSTON — Jayson Tatum has joked about how Sam Hauser should thank him for all those open looks he gets when the two are on the floor together.

Hauser playfully goes along with it, knowing all too well that he’s a shot-taking sniper regardless of who he’s on the floor with.

But knowing Tatum is a legit league MVP candidate, it does make one wonder how Hauser would fare when he’s not on the floor with Tatum as well as the rest of Boston’s usual starting five.

Well, we got a glimpse of what that looks like on Sunday.

And that look, well, is a sight to behold.
