Gordon Hayward's surge is making Celtics projected Big-3 a reality

That was the original idea, wasn't it? Assemble a Big-3 of Al Horford, Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward and go for it. Season-ending injuries to both Gordon and Kyrie derailed that notion last season, but it is coming to fruition now. Hayward may be coming off the bench, but he isn't playing like it.

In Boston's 112-102 win over the Miami Heat last night, Hayward was aggressive. He scored 25 points on 5-of-10 from the field, 3-of-5 on threes and 12-of-13 from the foul line.
