Anthony Edwards is struggling this season as he continues to learn how to deal with double-teams at the NBA level, and the Celtics took full advantage in their win Thursday night.
Edwards is shooting a career-low 41.7 percent from the field this season, a career-low 32.9 percent from 3-point range, and he’s averaging a career-low 19.1 points per game.
The Celtics defense, which broke out of a slump on New Year’s Eve, added another notch to its belt by kicking off a challenging Western Conference road trip with a victory.
Edwards expressed frustration with the way Boston guarded him after the game.
