Gordon Hayward takes another step forward vs. Philadelphia

Heading into Tuesday night’s matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers, Gordon Hayward didn’t have any 20-point performances on the season... sort of. He did eclipse the 20-point mark in two games against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but both games jumped into the 30-point category. That changed last night in Philly when Hayward had a game-high 26 points on 8/11 shooting (6/7 from deep), to go along with 4 rebounds and 3 assists. He was confident and aggressive on both sides of the ball, which was exactly what the Boston Celtics needed on a night without Kyrie Irving.
