With Al Horford and Robert Williams signed beyond this season and capable of handling the vast majority of the team’s frontcourt minutes if they are healthy entering the playoffs, the Celtics don’t necessarily have an urgent need in the frontcourt. Still, they are expected to scan the league for another big man as the trade deadline approaches, according to league sources who were granted anonymity so they could speak freely. Though Luke Kornet has been solid this season, the Celtics are expected to evaluate options to shore up the depth behind Horford and Williams while giving Joe Mazzulla additional lineup flexibility.
Gary Washburn: Last two-minute report says RWilliams was NOT fouled at the end of regulation; Horford should have been called for foul on Brunson w/1:04 left in regulation and 3 seconds with 29.6 left; Jericho Sims traveled with 1:37 left in overtime. (NYK didn’t score on possession). #Celtics
