After his long, long road back from last season’s nightmare, Gordon Hayward is finally looking like the All-Star we expected him to be. In 30 minutes off the bench, Hayward put up a game-high 30 points on 8-16 shooting (including 4-5 threes and 10-10 at the line), with nine rebounds, eight assists and two steals. He scored 16 of his points in the fourth quarter to clinch the 118-109 win at Minnesota. And he did all this on the second night of a back-to-back.
The Celts held the lead most of the night, but the Timberwolves made them work for the win.
