Robert Williams makes his case in loss to the Pacers
Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports There were many positives to take out of the performance Robert Williams put together Sunday night in Indianapolis.
The oft-injured, third-year big man made a noticeable impact with his 12 points on 6-of-7 shooting to go along with four rebounds, four steals and two blocks.
Williams’s play even forced Celtics coach Brad Stevens to insert the 6-foot-8 forward during crunch time, where he continued to deliver for Boston, including coming up with a clutch steal on T.J. Warren that turned into a breakaway layup by Marcus Smart with 11.8 seconds left and a slim one-point advantage.
