Derrick White points to specific missed calls in Boston Celtics' loss to San Antonio Spurs
Star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown is not a fan of the whistle that his team got in Boston's 100-95 loss to Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs this past Saturday (Jan. 10) night. But for Celtics point guard Derrick White,
Rollins is constantly overshadowed by teammate Kevin Porter Jr ., but is more than holding his own, averaging 17.0 points, 3.3 3-pointers, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.6 steals while shooting 50% from the floor and 78% from the line. There's no reason he won't do this the rest of the way, so managers should just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Derrick White scored 13 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter as the Boston Celtics beat the Jazz in Utah, 129-119.
Brown, who’s posted career-best numbers through while co-star Jayson Tatum recovers from Achilles surgery, was ruled out with low back spasms. Poor perimeter shooting doomed the team in his absence, as the Celtics went just 9-for-35 from 3-point range (26%) in the loss.
The folks behind the "NBC Sports Boston" YouTube channel put together a clip from their "Celtics Postgame Live" show that had cohosts Tom Giles, Chris Forsberg and Eddie House in conversation with the game's broadcast crew of Brian Scalabrine and Drew Carter to talk about White's historic defensive night, and what went into the win for Boston.
With the Celtics ranking last in the NBA in free throw attempts, Jaylen Brown did not pull any punches concerning his thoughts on officiating.
Derrick White posted a never-before-seen stat line for an NBA guard — one that included a staggering seven blocks — as the Celtics beat the Jazz 129-119.
