The Boston Celtics have fumbled their way through the month of December. They’ve gone 5-6 in the month, including a 2-5 record in their last seven games. That being said, they picked up a big-time win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night by a score of 121-109.
Jaylen Brown led the team in scoring with 36 points, with Jayson Tatum following close behind him with 30. And despite his recent shooting woes, Derrick White played well against Minnesota. After the contest, Tatum revealed that he told White to be aggressive before the game.
“D-White is the ultimate teammate, somebody that everybody would love to play with,” Tatum said. “So just letting him know that we need him and how I love playing with him. And I need him to be aggressive.”
White finished the game with 18 points, which was third on the team, on 8-of-13 shooting from the floor. However, he missed all three of his three-point attempts.
