Boston Celtics: Watch Robert Williams Reject Anthony Davis, Throw Down Two Handed Slam
Boston Celtics Rookie Robert Williams wasted no time leaving his mark on tonight’s matchup with the Pelicans, denying Superstar forward Anthony Davis at the rim. He later followed the highlight real play up with a thunderous slam near the end of the 1st half.
With Al Horford (knee) and Aron Baynes (ankle) sidelined for tonight’s marquee matchup with the Pelicans, it was up to Robert Williams to answer the bell.
It is certainly not easy to hop into an NBA game and get extended minutes as an unproven rookie that spends most of the time on the bench. It is a whole different monster being tasked with guarding one of the NBA’s top talents in Anthony Davis.
