BOSTON -- Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens has a simple philosophy on why Jared Sullinger is a quality rebounder: "When that ball hits his hands, it sticks."
During Friday's 111-78 thrashing of the visiting Washington Wizards, Sullinger produced his third 15-rebound effort of the season -- this in only 24 minute of floor time. And no sequence better hammered home Stevens' point than with about three minutes to play in the first quarter when Sullinger paid homage his hairsake by making an Odell Beckham Jr.-like one-handed snag of a Jonas Jerebko miss.
