Boston Celtics guard Derrick White has ended his early-season shooting slump, delivering a vintage 27-point performance (10-21 FG, 6 3PM, 5 AST, 3 BLK) in a recent win. White is averaging 14.8 PPG off pull-up jumpers (up from 8.1), shooting 53.7% FG and 46.9% 3PT on such attempts during the Celtics' 5-game win streak. He's made five 3-pointers in four of his last six games. White's resurgence has been key to Boston's 10-2 run, with the team 13.5 points per 100 possessions better with him on court.
