Malcolm Brogdon cut off Josh Giddey’s lane to the rim, blocking him and sprinting forward in transition. Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Kenrich Williams beat him to the opposite rim, a spot on the floor he’s struggled to reach this season. Brogdon reversed to the right corner, spotted Jayson Tatum trailing and led him into free throws in the paint.
Despite a shooting slump, Brogdon has continued to facilitate, accumulating three assists with no turnovers in the Celtics’ disastrous loss at the Thunder on Tuesday. He provided his assessment to the Boston Globe, noting that the Celtics relaxed when Oklahoma City ruled out Shai Gilgeous-Alexander pre-game.
