The team's starters once again took to the court, providing a final preseason tune-up before the regular season begins. The Celtics showcased a dominant performance throughout the game, leading for the majority of the night. Defensive standout Derrick White emerged as a key player, earning the title of Wednesday’s Name to Know Player of the Game. Playing 20 minutes, White contributed 17 points, three rebounds, two assists, and four steals, shooting 6-of-9 from the field. Cornerstones of the Celtics' success included Mitchell Robinson, Neemias Queta, and Luka Garza, all of whom had exceptional performances. Robinson led the way with 12 points, seven rebounds, and three blocks, while Queta added 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting. Luka Garza contributed 14 points and three steals. The Celtics' centers dominated the game, receiving numerous easy scoring opportunities facilitated by the playmakers on the team. The Celtics face the Philadelphia 76ers in their preseason finale on Friday at 7 p.m. The possibility of resting players may arise after their starters have already logged considerable minutes in the past two home preseason games.",
