Newly acquired Boston Celtic Evan Fournier had himself quite the debut to remember — or not remember. Last week in his first game in green and white against the New Orleans Pelicans, Fournier scored 0 points while shooting 0-of-10 from the field in Boston’s 115 – 109 loss. Again, not an ideal start as a Celtic.
But tonight, in his third game in Boston, Fournier showed the Celtics fans just why Danny Ainge acquired him for two second-round picks prior to the trade deadline as Fournier scored 23 points on 8-of-13 shooting and 7-of-11 from downtown tonight, including 20 points in the fourth quarter, which helped lead the Celtics over the Rockets, 118 – 102.
