Things were just clicking for the Celtics on Friday night.
In the third quarter against the Brooklyn Nets, Derrick White spotted Luke Kornet cutting to the rim, and tossed a perfect lob that Kornet slammed down for a smooth alley-oop bucket.
His teammates couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
Kornet made another highlight reel play in the fourth quarter when he dished a no-look dime to Payton Pritchard under the basket for an easy layup. His effective night drew praise from Richard Jefferson and the ESPN broadcast team.
“He’s a valuable guy, and he’s showing it tonight,” Jefferson said on the ESPN broadcast.
