What a night for Boston Celtics big man (and presumed feature runway model for Tommy Heinsohn’s upcoming Australian Outback-themed big and tall line) Aron Baynes. The highlight reels will cut to him stepping into a three and slamming home putbacks. The stat sheets shows a fifth-year center, who never averaged more than 11 minutes per game in previous playoff runs, blowing his usual lines out of the water.
Three-point shooting anomaly
You’d be forgiven for not calling Baynes a three-point ace before his wild improvements this postseason. Baynes hit one of his two attempts from beyond the arc in Game 5 against the Philadelphia 76ers.
