Celtics' Derrick White reacts to getting brutally posterized by Jazz's Walter Clayton Jr. in Tuesday's matchup on the road.
Jordan Walsh is finally having a breakout season with the Boston Celtics. And the University of Arkansas alum credits his time playing with the Maine Celtics in the G League and Boston's coaching staff for putting him in the position he is now in with Boston.
Derrick White scored 13 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter as the Boston Celtics beat the Jazz in Utah, 129-119.
Anfernee Simons played a big part of the Celtics success again in Tuesday's win, leaving Brad Stevens with an interesting decision to come.
To make matters worse, Simons' expiring contract has led to him being pinpointed as Boston's biggest trade candidate. He's earning $27.6 million this season, and parting with him could help the Celtics duck under the luxury tax. However, finding a suitable replacement for the production he brings would prove difficult.

With a little under six minutes remaining in the first half of the Boston Celtics-Utah Jazz game on Tuesday, Jazz rookie Walter Clayton Jr. received a pass on the left wing during a 3-on-2 fast break and appeared to rise up for a layup with Celtics guard Derrick White protecting the rim.
