Cam Thomas reached 30 points for the fourth time this season, finishing with 31 to lead the Nets (4-5). Dennis Schroder added 20 points.
Cameron Johnson was fouled by Tatum after missing a wide open 3-point attempt in the closing seconds of regulation but grabbed his own miss. He calmly sank two free throws, tying it at 94 with 7.6 seconds to play.
Tatum front-rimmed a 3 as time expired, sending it to OT.
Boston guard Jaylen Brown missed his fourth straight game with a strained left hip flexor, center Luke Kornet was also out because of right hamstring tightness.
Celtics: Coming off their first home loss of the season Wednesday night against Golden State, the Celtics saw another team that limited the 3-point line and delated their offensive sets. The fast break was Boston's remedy, as the Celtics outscored the Nets 20-10 in transition.
