Hugo González puts cherry on top of growth-filled preseason

Hugo Gonzalez capped off his busy preparation period by leading the Boston Celtics past the Philadelphia 76ers 125-120 in an overtime thriller. The twenty-year-old guard scored twenty-one points off the bench, adding four rebounds, three assists, and a steal in nineteen minutes of action.

His stellar outing followed a summer featuring international play for Spain and leading the Celtics in Summer League scoring. Facing a powerhouse Philadelphia starting five that featured LeBron James, Jaylen Brown, Joel Embiid, and Tyrese Maxey, Gonzalez sparked a second-half comeback from a fourteen-point deficit.

His efficient shooting and defensive hustle showcased his considerable growth heading into the new campaign.
