James Harden scores 49 points, Rockets outlast Mavs in OT

JULY 31, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Strong overall game in loss Hayward posted 17 points (6-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and a block over 34 minutes in Friday's 119-112 loss to the Bucks in Orlando.

Impact Hayward was quietly productive throughout the game. And he was robbed of another bucket late when the refs seemed to miss a goaltending call on a Hayward drive late in the fourth quarter. This was Boston's first seeding game in the Orlando bubble and its play was occasionally sloppy. Hayward's 34 minutes and six assists both led the Celtics. With Kemba Walker (knee) on a minutes restriction, Boston will look to Hayward and Marcus Smart to step up their ball-distribution skills.

Leads C's in scoring Smart generated 23 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, an assist and a steal over 32 minutes in Friday's 119-112 loss to Milwaukee in Orlando.

Impact Smart came off the bench but played starter's minutes, which will probably continue as long as Kemba Walker (knee) is on a minutes restriction. Smart's 23 points led Boston in scoring on a night when Walker played only 19 minutes and Jayson Tatum shot 2-for-18. The versatile Smart also saw a lot of time guarding Giannis Antetokounmpo on the defensive end. Near the end of the game, it looked like Smart briefly forced Giannis to foul out via a charge, until the call was overturned on replay. Look for Smart to continue to play a big role throughout most of these Orlando regular-season games.
