Boston Celtics: 5 takeaways from awful defeat to Heat
By Sam Minton
Orlando Hayward
Ever since making his way down to Orlando, Gordon Hayward has been lighting up things down in the bubble.
Hayward once again had a good game on Tuesday. Watching Hayward he just looks like the guy you saw in Utah. He is moving throughout the floor with ease and able to attack the rim. He also isn’t afraid of contact as well.
On Tuesday, Hayward was able to put up 15 points with seven rebounds. At times he was carrying the C’s. when they were struggling. It was also encouraging to see Hayward play 36 minutes. It shows how far he has come.
The C’s will need Hayward’s experience and skill in the playoffs. They can’t just rely on one player. Boston needs to use the depth that they have to their advantage.
Boston needs to start turning things around. They need to start building momentum as they prepare to head into the playoffs. They have a chance right away on Wednesday to make things right.
