Boston Celtics sting Hornets: 3 studs in awesome win vs Charlotte
By Zachary McMahon
3. Sam Hauser fills in decently for Jaylen Brown
Sam Hauser started at shooting guard in the place for Jaylen Brown. Hauser scored 12 points, grabbed three rebounds and dished out three assists. The three assists tied a career high for Hauser as he also had three assists in two games last season against the 76ers and Wizards.
Also, this is his third straight game scoring 10+ points for the Celtics, as previously never had back-to-back games with 10+ points.
Look for Hauser to get more starts and more playing time if Brown is out for an extended period of time and if Smart is still out for a while.
Their next game will be on Sunday Afternoon at TD, when they go face the Memphis Grizzlies for a 2:00 pm tip off on ABC.
