BOSTON – Here are the Stars, Studs and Duds in Boston’s 110-97 win over the Brooklyn Nets which gave the Celtics (55-27) a season sweep of the Nets (28-54) for the second straight season.
STARS
Aron Baynes: The lone starter to play, Baynes was as dominant as we’ve seen him in a Celtics uniform, finishing with a career-high 26 points along with 14 rebounds.
STUDS
Shane Larkin: Getting the start with Terry Rozier (rest) out, Shane Larkin flirted with a triple-double before finishing with 12 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists.
Guerschon Yabusele: The Dancing Bear was among the many Celtics players to benefit from an increased opportunity to play. He tallied 14 points on 5-for-9 shooting along with four rebounds and two steals.
Boston Celtics
Nik Stauskas: He had 14 points on 5-for-9 shooting on a night when the Nets could do little offensively.
Jonathan Gibson: This dude’s on a 10-day contract? Jonathan Gibson continues to turn heads with long-range, quick-trigger shooting. He finished with 18 points on 8-for-13 shooting.
DUDS
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson: This was not a good night for Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, a much better player than what we saw on Wednesday night. He was scoreless while missing all five of his field goal attempts.
