While the Boston Celtics battled it out against the Spurs in San Antonio Tuesday, their newest player, two-way guard John Tonje put together a career-night in the G-League. Tonje’s 42-points led the Maine Celtics to a 119-112 win over the first-place Osceola Magic.
The Nebraska native caught fire from long range and knocked down eight of his 12 attempts from beyond the arc. He finished the night 12-20 from the field and ripped down seven rebounds to accompany his huge scoring night.
Tonje joined the Celtics last month at the Feb. 5 trade deadline. He came from the Utah Jazz, who traded him to Boston for Chris Boucher.
