Perhaps the most exciting NBA story of the weekend was the emergence of Celtics forward Grant Williams, who notched a career-high 27 points Sunday.
The former Tennessee standout was less heralded than other players he was on the floor with like reigning NBA Finals MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, as well as star Boston teammates Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. However, he still managed to lead the game in scoring in an effort to eliminate the Bucks.
Williams broke Steph Curry’s record for most 3-pointers attempted in a Game 7, and he also tied Curry’s record for most shots made from beyond the arc in a Game 7. It was all incredibly unexpected, and also equally rewarding.
