"Queta finished with 27 points and 17 rebounds, after a masterful first half in which he tallied 16 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks. Seven of his rebounds were offensive, part of a performance in which the Celtics rebounded 50 percent of their misses in the first half."
"Just the amount of repetitions I've been having with these guys every day, he said. Kind of understand what they like, what they don't like. The game is just slowing down for me, too. Once stuff like that happens, when they've got two guys on the ball, just me being able to go out there and be a threat for defenses makes us so much more dangerous."
"Queta was quiet in the third quarter after his first-half explosion, but he was instrumental late in the fourth, scoring eight straight points from 2:56 to 1:19 to turn off the lights."
The Boston Celtics defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 114-98 on Sunday, with Neemias Queta and Jaylen Brown leading the charge. Queta had one of his best games, recording 27 points and 17 rebounds, including 16 points and 12 rebounds in the first half with seven offensive rebounds. He made crucial plays throughout, including steals, pick-and-rolls, and finishes at the rim. Queta scored eight consecutive points late in the fourth quarter to seal the victory. Brown also put up impressive numbers comparable to LeBron James. The Celtics pulled away in the fourth quarter to secure the win, with Queta crediting his improved performance to increased repetitions with teammates and the game slowing down for him.
