Today in Boston Celtics history, Avery Bradley delivered an impressive performance during an 88-76 victory against the Washington Wizards at TD Garden in 2012. The University of Texas alumnus put up a career-high of 23 points, along with 3 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal, shooting 9-of-14 from the field. He made 1-of-2 attempts from 3-point range and was perfect at the free throw line, going 4-of-4, marking a significant career achievement for Bradley. Notably, the Tacoma native recorded no turnovers while playing a game-high 40 minutes, despite committing 4 personal fouls.
"It's all about confidence," said Bradley after the game via the Associated Press . Sometimes I would go into the game thinking twice about shooting," he added. "Now, if I'm open, I'm open and I'll shoot it. I've been making them," said Bradley, whose previous high was 20 points. "I was fortunate enough for my teammates to find me in transition and give me the ball, and I made shots."
