It may well end up being a moot point by the time veteran big man Tristan Thompson gets back on the court if it isn’t already. But, Boston Celtics third-year center Robert Williams continued to add to his case to lock up starting duties at his position in the Celtics 116 – 86 blowout of the Charlotte Hornets Sunday night.
The Texas A&M product had another hyper-efficient outing against the Hornets, going 7-of-9 from the floor overall and 2-of-2 from the free throw line to score 16 points and 8 rebounds on the night, with a pair of assists and steals for good measure.
Timelord played 25 minutes of game time with 0 turnovers, but was getting the whistle a bot more than usual, with 5 personal fouls on the evening.
