Boston Celtics: 3 takeaways from Game 7 vs. Bucks

1. Scary Terry with a breakout performance

Terry Rozier had been having a terrific first round of the 2018 NBA Playoffs through the first six games, and he capped it off with an epic 26-point, nine-assist gem in the Game 7 win.

Ever since Kyrie Irving was shut down due to problems with his knee, Rozier has stepped up every step of the way, averaging 17.2 points per game in the month of March, and then having a terrific showing against Milwaukee in this first round series.

Moving forward, the Celtics are going to need Rozier to play like this more often than not.

Boston needs offense from wherever it can find it, and Rozier has proven time and time again that not only is he capable of scoring 20+, but that he’s capable of doing it when the lights are brightest and the pressure is at its peak.

Against the likes of Philly, Rozier may have a tough time matched up against the 6’10” Simmons, but if his past play has given us any indication, it’s that Rozier is adept at defying expectations.
