Drew Peterson Impresses with Career-High Minutes for Boston Celtics

In a notable performance, Drew Peterson played a career-high 25 minutes for the Boston Celtics in their recent game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Despite the Celtics’ 115-111 loss on Sunday night, Peterson’s contribution was a highlight of the match.

Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla explained the decision to give Peterson extended playing time, praising his defensive skills and overall work ethic. Mazzulla highlighted Peterson’s ability to defend without fouling, his physicality, and his smart playmaking, including his knack for offensive rebounding and moving effectively without the ball.

Peterson, who had only played 30 NBA minutes before this game, demonstrated significant improvement and adaptability on the court. His performance was crucial, especially during the second quarter when he helped the Celtics stay competitive despite being down early.

The game saw a strong fourth quarter from the Cavaliers’ Donovan Mitchell, which ultimately led to the Celtics’ defeat. However, the emergence of Drew Peterson as a viable contributor is a positive note for the Celtics as they navigate the season.
