Gordon Hayward is playing his best basketball of the season right now. He has now finished with double digits scoring in six consecutive games.

Hayward finished the match with 25 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists on 5-10 shooting from the field. He also shot 3-5 from beyond the arc and 12-13 from the Free Throw line.

Hayward has been a liability for the Celtics for much of the season. They have tried to adjust him in the lineup since his return from injury. He has finally started delivering for the team and the time couldn't be any better.

On paper, the Celtics are one of the best rosters to challenge the Golden State Warriors for the championship this season. If Hayward keeps delivering like this, the Celtics will be a very tough team to beat in the playoffs.
