With the floor spread out, Boston’s steadying force all season came to the ball. With the game in the balance, it was Malcolm Brogdon that stepped up to the line.
So much has been said about the Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum growing up, the connective tissue of Derrick White, and how much Robert Williams raises the ceiling of this team. But then there’s Brogdon. He’s never started a game for the Celtics, serving as the second unit floor general and more so, a calming presence for the entire roster.
