It wasn’t supposed to as thrilling or entertaining of a game with many of the Celtics regulars not even making the trip to Cleveland for Boston’s preseason finale against the Cavaliers.
Guess nobody told that to Carsen Edwards, who stole the spotlight with an insane third-quarter, 3-point shooting spree that even left coach Brad Stevens in disbelief.
Edwards canned the first six 3-pointers he launched in the stanza and connected on eight treys in the opening 5:45 of the frame. Edwards, sparked by his other-worldly shooting performance, netted 26 of his game-high 30 points in the third quarter and finished 9-of-15 from deep.
