Celtics Rookie Hugo González Hits Clutch Game-Tying Three in 2OT Win
Celtics rookie Hugo González delivered a critical game-tying three-pointer with 2.5 seconds left in the first overtime of Friday's 130-126 double-overtime victory against the Brooklyn Nets, forcing a second extra period. Coach Joe Mazzulla showed significant trust by inserting González into the crucial moment, despite having benched him earlier for a mental mistake. González finished the game with 10 points on a perfect 4-of-4 shooting from the field, showcasing his readiness and hustle, which has been a key factor in keeping him from G-League assignments this season.
