Chinese retailer JD.com (JD) has taken investors on a wild ride this year.

BOSTON — In a playoff game opposite Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving — three of the six greatest scorers of their generation — Jayson Tatum was the most lethal offensive weapon on the court. Tatum belongs to the next generation, and he is making a case to the best scorer of his. Harden scored 41 points and Durant 39 for the Brooklyn Nets in Game 3 of their first-round matchup, but Tatum bested them both with a career playoff high 50 for the Boston Celtics in a 125-19 win that… Source link
