Baylor Scheierman stays focused on making an impact for the Boston Celtics off the bench
It seemed possible that Scheierman might have a tough battle ahead of him to get back on the court with Boston early in the start to the season, and such dynamics do not exactly lend themselves to the sort of confident play needed to snap whatever errors were keeping the Hastings,
Kevin Durant scored 26 points in three quarters before resting the fourth, Amen Thompson added 17 points and nine rebounds, and the Houston Rockets beat the Boston Celtics 128-101 on Saturday night.
Houston outscored the Celtics in all four quarters, owned a 53-36 edge in rebounds and attempted 35 foul shots to Boston’s seven. The Rockets also shot 65.5% from 3-point range and blocked 11 shots, both the best marks by a Celtics opponent this season.
Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics surrendered a 17-point lead in a 119-113 loss to the Detriot Pistons to fall to 0-3 on the young regular season. Brown was listed as questionable before playing in a game where the Celtics were a minus-17 in rebounds, including 19 offensive boards, which the Pistons converted into 30 second-chance points.
Cade Cunningham had 25 points and eight assists as Detroit won its home opener, downing the Boston Celtics 119-113 on Sunday afternoon.
Jaylen Brown scored 32 points, Anfernee Simons added 19 and the Boston Celtics never trailed in a 109-108 win against the Philadelphia 76ers
The Celtics’ win streak was halted at three by the Rockets on Saturday, as Boston looked a step slow on the back end of a back-to-back (and their fifth game in five nights) at TD Garden. With a day of rest Sunday, the Celtics will look to get back to winning ways as they host the Jazz on Monday.
