The Boston Celtics pride Kendrick Perkins has to this day is a beautiful sight, and on Thursday night/Friday morning, he had some pro-Cs pontifications following Boston’s spread-covering win against the Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center.
While Jayson Tatum notably struggled compared to his usual self on Thursday night, several Celtics stepped up to the plate in the absence of his star contributions.
Jaylen Brown–owner of the most efficient 40-point game in Boston Celtics history–and Tristan Thompson, who contributed his most balanced effort of the season, were Perkins’s primary targets of praise.
