Jordan Walsh, the Celtics’ “Mr. Clean.”
After being nicknamed “Trash Man” by his teammates for doing dirty work, Jordan Walsh “Mister Clean” mode activated in Celtics big win over the Wizards (146-101).
In 30 minutes, he scored 22 points and 7 rebounds with a perfect 8/8 shooting. The winger appeared at the start of the second quarter where he scored eight points in four minutes. On the other side of the field, in the same time period, he made a counterattack on Will Riley and an interception that allowed him to dunk on the counterattack.
“Jordan set the tone on both ends of the court,” Congratulations to Joe Mazzulla. “He grabbed two offensive rebounds, I thought he had more, but he made some good plays defensively and he did a good job offensively.
After halftime, Jordan Walsh helps the Celtics extend the deficit. Midway through the third quarter, he scored five straight points, then rebounded and passed with the final assist for Derrick White who throws a shot from behind the arc allowing Boston to take a 25 point lead.
Successful integration into the main five
Jordan Walsh therefore finished the game with 22 points, a career high on 8/8 shooting and missed just one free throw (5/6). He also added seven rebounds and two assists.
“Honestly, I forget what’s going on in the offense,” admits the winger. “When I score a goal, I focus on getting back on defense. When I get a rebound or an interception, it stays in my head, I don’t know why, it’s a little weird. Defense is always my priority.”
In any case, Jordan Walsh continues his good performance as he had a game with 14 points and 11 rebounds against the Cavaliers, followed by a game against New York where he caught decisive offensive rebounds at the end of the match. Ten games in, Joe Macula included him in his starting five and since then the Celtics have been on a good streak with eight wins in their last ten appearances. Enough to put them in 5th place in the East.
