The hustle and tenacity that Jordan Walsh showed on the glass during the fourth quarter on Tuesday helped the Celtics knock off one of the tougher opponents in the Eastern Conference.
He didn’t need to post a monster stat line to help finish off the Knicks in a 123-117 win. He chipped in eight points and six rebounds with most of those coming in crunch time as the Celtics clung to a slim lead down the stretch.
“To me, the last six minutes of the game, he was just a great playmaker,” Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said.
