Celtics rookie Baylor Scheierman led his team to a 104-96 win over the Nets on Tuesday, scoring a career-high 20 points. The 17 points he scored in the second half proved crucial as the shorthanded Celtics secured their 50th win of the season.
In the final seconds of the first quarter, Scheierman made a memorable shot despite missing his only attempt at a fadeaway three-pointer as time expired. This moment was notable not because of its outcome but because it highlighted Scheierman’s impressive performance throughout the game.
When asked about the team’s success, Scheierman praised Coach Joe Mazzulla’s confidence in him and the players’ trust in one another. He emphasized that this is what makes the game enjoyable – a seamless flow where every player feels confident and can contribute to the team’s victory.
