The Celtics didn’t have Jaylen Brown or Neemias Queta for Monday night’s game against the Bucks in Milwaukee, but it wasn’t a negative for Boston because several other players stepped up.
The most notable example was Hugo Gonzalez. The rookie forward played fantastic at both ends of the floor. He finished with a career-high 18 points and 16 rebounds to help lead the C’s to a 108-81 victory at Fiserv Forum.
The Celtics have won three games in a row and will return home for two games, beginning Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets.
