Jayson Tatum and Derrick White wore headbands on Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets. It was a small, meaningless decision that all of Boston Celtics Nation noticed.
“JT said he wanted to wear a headband, so I said, ‘I’ll ride with you,’” White told Abby Chin of NBC Sports Boston at halftime.
The Celtics absolutely clobbered the Nets, earning a 136-86 victory and heading into the All-Star break on a high note. Oshae Brissett threw down a windmill dunk, Payton Pritchard enjoyed a fourth-quarter scoring explosion, and Luke Kornet sang some Whitney Houston on the bench.
