I’m not sure what’s more impressive — Drake Maye’s Year 2 leap or the culture Mike Vrabel has built just 12 games into his Patriots tenure. Either way, balance has been restored in Foxborough.

Jordan Walsh just keeps making plays for the Celtics.

Set a new career-high in scoring with those two free throws, as he's up to 12 points.

Josh Minott has just as many rebounds as Rudy Gobert (3).

Minott has played 6 minutes tonight, while Gobert has logged 16.

Derrick White’s slow start had Joe Mazzulla oddly excited before his second-half eruption lifted the Celtics past the East-leading Pistons.

"That’s just the trust I have in him as a player."

Hugo González doesn’t get enough credit for always being prepared to step in at any moment and make an immediate impact for the Celtics.

Derrick White must've heard Kendrick Perkins on ESPN at halftime — he's up to 13 points and 7 rebounds after knocking down his third 3-pointer of the quarter.

Luka Garza will replace Neemias Queta as the Celtics’ starting center tonight against the Pistons.

Garza’s last NBA start came on Jan. 1, 2022, when he logged 39:39 in an overtime matchup versus the Spurs as a rookie with Detroit.

Celtics chances at advancing are slim. Atlanta beating Washington tonight eliminates them. Celtics losing to Detroit tomorrow would also eliminate them.

Anfernee Simons is steadily rising — to the Celtics’ benefit and Joe Mazzulla’s satisfaction “I think he’s given us everything.”

The transition from Portland to Boston hasn’t been easy for Anfernee Simons, but recently, the 26-year-old has started to turn a new leaf in a Celtics uniform.

"It’s for sure an adjustment."
