Jae Crowder has the hot hand in Boston's Game 1 win
Boston Celtics forward Jae Crowder was on fire from beyond the arc on Sunday, hitting 6-of-8 three-point attempts as he racked up 24 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal in Bostons' Game 1 win over the Washington Wizards.
What It Means:
Crowder set a new postseason high in points as he made the Wizards pay for leaving him open in the corner all game long. The Celtics as a whole tied a franchise record with 19 made three-pointers on Sunday. Washington will need to find an answer for Crowder or they will be in store for a short series with Boston.
Crowder posted a game-high 168.1 offensive rating and 31.44 nERD rating in Game 1, per numberFire Live.
