After a 2 game skid on the road, the Celtics were finally able to put together a win. Hosting the Toronto Raptors after 6six games out west, the C’s found production outside of their primary contributors.
In a starting role, Semi Ojeleye seized the opportunity to make an impact on the game, scoring a career 24 points and grabbing 6 rebounds. He was able to knock down some big shots for the club throughout the night finishing 6-8 from three-point range. Known for his defensive prowess and ability, Ojeleye has started to show that he can be a valuable piece for further success throughout the season. With all of the recent short-handed play and performances of this caliber, his number should get called a fair share of times down the stretch.
With Ojeleye and other players stepping up and becoming more reliable, it will add depth once the C’s become healthy. Boston will host the Detroit Pistons tonight at 8:00 PM EST.
