Winner, winner Jamaican jerk chicken dinner.
Following their 105-96 win against the Toronto Raptors Monday night, the Celtics were rewarded with a rare road luxury – a home-cooked meal.
According to the Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach, the dinner, cooked by Oshae Brissett’s grandmother, sent a swell of silence over the typically celebratory Celtics locker room.
Postgame locker room meals are customary for traveling NBA teams, usually provided by local restaurants or catering services. After acquiring Brissett in July, however, both away games in Toronto have concluded with a home-cooked meal from his grandmother.
