Daniel Theis scores 20 on 9-of-11 in Celtics' loss
Boston Celtics power forward Daniel Theis scored 20 points (9-of-11 field goals) with 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 2 3-pointers, and 1 turnover in 22.8 minutes of a 129-128 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday.
What It Means:
Theis logged over 20 minutes for the first time in over a month and made the most of the expanded workload, finishing 2 points short of the career-high he set on December 8. He's also blocked 7 shots over the past four games after not swatting anything in the preceding four contests. Theis will continue to benefit as long as Aron Baynes (foot) is unavailable. The Celtics host the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday.
