The former Creighton Bluejay helped Boston to a 104-96 victory over Brooklyn.
On Tuesday night, the Boston Celtics were missing both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown due to injuries, but it didn’t make a difference since Baylor Scheierman was present.
Exactly. Boston’s first-year two-way forward contributed significantly to the effort against the Brooklyn Nets, recording personal bests in points (20), three-pointers made (6), and steals (1). He also gathered three rebounds and supplied one assist as the Celtics defeated the Nets 104-96.
Here’s a glimpse of some of Scheierman’s top moments from the evening:

It’s only appropriate that Scheierman, a past Creighton Bluejay, delivered his top NBA performance at the beginning of the NCAA tournament.
After his impressive performance, the 24-year-old was drenched with water bottles by his teammates:
Thanks to additional scoring support from Kristaps Porzingis (25 points) and Derrick White (18), Boston achieved their 50th victory of the season, marking their third consecutive win. They will have the next few days free to recover before traveling to Utah on Friday night to face the 15-54 Jazz.
The start time for that game is set for 9:30 p.m. EST from Delta Center in Salt Lake City.
