Atlanta -- Saturday night at State Farm Arena, Anfernee Simons wasn't the star player going for 41 points in his hometown. He wasn't the one who finished one make shy of matching Marcus Smart's franchise record with 11 threes in a game, either. That distinction belongs to Sam Hauser. However, the latest example of the Boston Celtics' new sixth man's growth within a winning system was evident.
Simons came off the bench to generate 14 points on 5/10 shooting in the visitors' 132-106 victory vs. the Atlanta Hawks. He buried four of the eight threes he hoisted.
