It was the sort of historic debut you want to forget about, not celebrate, but by the time veteran shooting guard Evan Fournier had scored a career-high 7 shots from beyond the arc to score 23 points off the bench for the Boston Celtics on Friday, the recently-acquired wing had already shaken the bad game off.
Fournier shot a franchise-worst 0-for-10 in his debut with the team in a loss to the New Orleans Pelicans earlier this week, but paid it little mind at the time. While clearly something anyone would want to avoid, he instead remained focused on the present.
And with a little support from his new teammates, it quickly turned his game around to boost his new club in a big way against the Houston Rockets on April 2.
