Jordan Walsh will be on Jaylen Brown’s stream tonight.

“I’m super into the streaming world and gaming world, and so I was like, ‘this sounds like something fun.’

“Jaylen invited me, and I would love to be a part of it.”

Jordan Walsh says he’s still a homebody, but “coming here and be a part of this is something special, and I would never pass up this opportunity.”

Luka Garza on embracing the community and exploring Boston:

“I've been all around…It's been a lot of fun. The city is amazing. I love it here.

“It's awesome to see how the community embraces the Celtics...It’s awesome we have a chance to give back…Their support of us is incredible.”

I asked Jordan Walsh about community events like today’s, knowing the lasting impact they can have on kids.

“It’s not costing anybody here anything. We’re just here to come out, give support, show love, make some kids days…If you have time and you have the resources, you should give back.”

Walsh, Queta, Garza, and Leon Powe are also signing balls that will go to the winning bowling team.

A look into a very intense UNO game that did not go Jordan Walsh’s way.

Plenty of pictures and autograph signings here as Queta, Walsh, and Garza connect with the community. The energy here is incredible. They’ve clearly made these kids’ day and beyond.

Neemias Queta, Jordan Walsh, and Luka Garza are here bowling with kids from the Boys & Girls Club as part of a Surprise and Delight event hosted by the Celtics and Xfinity.

Hopefully, it’s the start of Hauser finding his rhythm. Thanks, Michele!

Sam Hauser exemplifies Joe Mazzulla's message to Celtics in win over Nets One trait does not define Sam Hauser. His performance in the Boston Celtics' 113-99 win against the Brooklyn Nets exemplified that.

"He's not defined by that."

Joe Mazzulla credited Sam Hauser with a steal that "changed the game" in the Celtics' win vs. the Nets.

Mazzulla on Hauser continued: “I thought his rebounding was really good, and he had a big time steal at half court that I thought kind of changed the game. So it's a credit to him, just continuing to chip away at it.” 2/2

Mazzulla on Hauser’s well-rounded impact tonight: “It's a credit to him. We all know that he's been in a little bit of a shooting slump, but he's not defined by that.

“And, you know, I thought his defense was great…” 1/2

I asked Joe Mazzulla, who preaches to his team they’re not defined by one trait, about Sam Hauser’s well-rounded impact in tonight’s win.

His answer ⬇️

The third time's the charm. After two clean looks from behind the arc, the Celtics grab another offensive rebound and Derrick White buries a 3 that gives them a 100-92 lead with 5:29 left.

That's just Boston's second made 3 in the final frame. They're 2/7 on 3PAs this quarter.

The Celtics open the second half on a 13-4 run. A Jaylen Brown pull-up 3 extends their lead to 10, 75-65, with 7:28 left in the 3rd frame. Boston opens the second half shooting over 57% from the field.

There’s a lot of green in the crowd tonight. Celtics fans are well represented here at the Barclays Center.

That's a really nice possession by Garza. Effective screen. Gets the ball on the roll and finds Pritchard for a quality look at a corner 3, then cleans up the miss. Good work on multiple fronts.

No surprise but Jordan Walsh will start for the third straight game.

Joe Mazzulla while praising Neemias Queta’s commitment to improving:

“He’s a mild mannered guy, but he’s really intense.”

“Jaylen’s leadership goes beyond what he does on the court.”

Joe Mazzulla discusses Jaylen Brown going to him, advocating for Jordan Walsh to prove he can be a defensive stopper for the Celtics.

Here’s a look into Jaylen Brown’s pregame routine as he works with God Shammgod Jr. ahead of tonight’s matchup against the Nets.

Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez on the Celtics:

Offensively, “they still have that identity.”

“Defensively, they’re very aggressive.”

Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez on Hugo Gonzalez:

"Very good player. He didn't have the minutes as a fan that we expected with Real Madrid," he said before noting Gonzalez's impact with the national team.

"There's a reason why he's in the NBA. He belongs at this level."

Here’s a look into Hugo Gonzalez’s pregame routine, including a one-handed slam, as he works with Craig Luschenat, Tyler Lashbrook, and Steve Tchiengang ahead of tonight’s Celtics-Nets game.

First time at the Barclays Center

Only Jayson Tatum is on the Celtics’ injury report for tomorrow’s game against the Nets.

Payton Pritchard hurt his ankle in yesterday’s win, but said after the game that he was fine.

Jaylen Brown was among the nominees for Eastern Conference Player of the Week.

The Celtics went 2-1 while Brown averaged 25.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and nearly a steal per game.

“He’s just annoying me.”

Derrick White on Jayson Tatum’s impact while on the bench:

“Obviously, a great basketball mind…It’s always great to have someone like that, where you can bounce ideas off of and see what he’s seeing.”

Payton Pritchard on going over to talk with Jayson Tatum at times during games:

“He has a great mind for the game, so I’ll occasionally go over and ask him what he sees. It’s always great to have a teammate like that.”

Celtics' path to filling a crucial role has become obvious In the battle for consistency, there will be ebbs and flows along the journey. However, the Boston Celtics now know they have strength in numbers.

"I was telling him that guy could be you."
