Young’s Hard Work Pays Off, Drives Celtics to Win

Celtics.com

INDIANAPOLIS – The majority of James Young’s career minutes have come during garbage time – late in a game when the Celtics are either leading big or trailing big.

Saturday night, however, Brad Stevens inserted Young during the second quarter of a tight matchup against the Indiana Pacers, and the young guard delivered with the best all-around game of his career.

Young posted 12 points, three rebounds, two steals and an assist during Boston’s 105-99 win at Bankers Life Field House. He shot 5-of-6 from the field, 2-of-3 from 3-point range, and provided a much-needed active, physical presence on the defensive end of the floor.
