One mistake caused Robert Williams to doubt his productive night vs. Pacers
Boston Celtics big man Robert Williams played the best game of his season to date on Sunday evening in his team’s 108-107 loss to the Indiana Pacers.
Williams dropped in 12 points on 6-for-7 shooting to go with four rebounds and four steals. As time wound down, Brad Stevens left him in the game over veterans Tristan Thompson and Daniel Theis — a sign of trust Williams has not often earned thus far.
Still, as he sat down to speak to the media afterward, Williams was visibly dejected.
“I feel like I’m definitely coming along, making progress,” Williams said. “But like I said, I’m not coming along fast enough slipping up like this.”
