Sullinger didn't hesitate when he drilled a 25-foot straightaway triple with 2:22 left that helped Boston emerge with the win. "I was wide open," Sullinger said. "I passed up a lot of shots in the third quarter, where I was wide open and tried to get better shots for my teammates. [Celtics assistant coach Walter McCarty] pulled me to the bench and said, ‘Just shoot the ball. That’s what players do. We believe in you. Every shot that you take, we have confidence in you. Now you have to have confidence in yourself to shoot it.’ And I heard that. Obviously, my confidence went through the roof, especially coming from a coach. When you hear, ‘Shoot the ball,’ you automatically shoot it the next play down. It was tremendous to have a support system like that."
Great coaching Walter! Keep it up.
