With Kemba Walker and Karl-Anthony Towns out, the fans at Target Center lined up for the next best thing: Naz Reid vs. Daniel Theis.
Reid challenged Theis in the first half into foul trouble, as the war on Theis’ defense continued. It didn’t stop his dives and dunks though, with a block above the rim on Malik Beasley and one last soar through traffic to grab his sixth offensive rebound that secured a 127-117 win for the Celtics at the start of their four-game road trip.
