The Boston Celtics’ bench had a great performance in their recent game against the New York Knicks, providing valuable production and integrating well with the starters. The rotations and lineup combinations seemed to work well, with players like Payton Pritchard, Al Horford, and Derrick White making positive contributions.
Horford, in particular, showed his value on the defensive end by effectively guarding players like Jalen Brunson. Although his offensive performance has been lacking, Horford’s defensive impact is still valuable. The Celtics have been tight with their rotation, relying on a core group of eight players, but it remains to be seen who the next man up will be.
The Celtics’ bench has shown growth in their ability to help Boston win games in different ways and has looked more cohesive in recent games.
