As the Celtics continue to barrel towards the playoffs with a stunning 32-9 record, Jaylen Brown knows that building confidence amongst the team’s second unit is essential to securing Banner 18.
“We play through those guys. Payton [Pritchard], Sam [Hauser], getting those guys touches in a game like this, it’s important to build confidence and get our guys feeling good,” Brown said following Wednesday night’s 117-98 victory over the Spurs.
The win left little to the imagination about how well the Celtics bench could perform. Hauser, Pritchard, and Neemias Queta all put in strong minutes and made serious contributions, particularly on defense.
