Our all-female PGL crew reacts to Baylor Scheierman's career night in the C's win over the Nets:

Score: 84-80 Celtics, 6:35 left in fourth quarter

Scheierman is up to a career-high 17 points -- leading the Celtics -- on a lights-out 5-for-6 from 3-point range. The rookie has put on a show since making his buzzer-beater 3 to end the third quarter.

Score: 78-75 Celtics, 8:40 left in fourth quarter

C's rookie Baylor Scheierman has 11 points (3-4 FG) in 11 minutes off the bench. He also has tallied two rebounds, an assist, and a steal to provide a much-needed boost with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown sidelined.

Score: 71-70 Celtics

Baylor Scheierman put the Celtics up by one heading into the fourth quarter with a buzzer-beater 3-pointer. The rookie leads the C's second unit with eight points and a pair of 3s.

Kristaps Porzingis and Derrick White lead Boston with 16 points apiece. White notched 13 of his 16 points in the third quarter.

Score: 65-62 Celtics, 4:41 left in third quarter

Derrick White has scored 13 of his 16 points in the third to help give the C's their first lead since early in the opening quarter. The Celtics guard has joined James Harden as the only players in NBA history to notch 225+ 3-pointers, 50+ offensive rebounds, 60+ steals, and 60+ blocks.

Boston is 8-13 (61.5 percent) from the field and 4-6 (66.7 percent) from 3 in the frame after an abysmal first-half shooting performance.

Score: 57-56 Nets, 6:31 left in third quarter

Kristaps Porzingis is enjoying another stellar night. The Celtics big man has 16 points, seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks, and a steal. His two blocks marked the 900th and 901st of his career.

Derrick White is heating up for Boston after a woeful first half. He has scored seven of his 10 points so far in the frame.

Score: 49-44 Nets

Despite shooting just 35.9 percent from the floor, the Celtics only trail by five at the half. Kristaps Porzingis was the lone bright spot for Boston with a team-high 14 points (5-8 FG).

It's been a balanced attack for the Nets over the first 24 minutes. Seven Brooklyn players, including all five starters, have at least five points. D'Angelo Russell leads the group with eight.

Score: 46-37 Nets, 3:18 left in second quarter

Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, and Payton Pritchard are a combined 4-for-18 from the floor (2-11 3-PT). That's a big reason the C's find themselves trailing the lowly Nets by nine points with three minutes to go in the half.

Score: 37-35 Nets, 5:26 left in second quarter

The Celtics ripped off a 7-0 run with a pair of Jrue Holiday free throws, a Neemias Queta layup, and a Sam Hauser 3-pointer. They only trail by two despite shooting just 36.7 percent from the floor and 23.8 percent from 3.

Score: 37-28 Nets, 7:30 left in second quarter

Boston is shooting an uncharacteristic 4-for-19 (21.1 percent) from 3-point range. Brooklyn is 6-for-15 (40 percent) from deep.

Score: 26-21 Nets

The Celtics shot just 36.8 percent from the floor while allowing the Nets to shoot 50 percent (10-20) from the field in the first quarter. They'll look to shore it up on both ends of the floor in the second.

Kristaps Porzingis led the C's with seven points in the first 12 minutes. D'Angelo Russell, Keon Johnson, and Day'Ron Sharpe lead the Nets with five points each.

Score: 22-18 Nets, 2:47 left in first quarter

Brooklyn is shooting 50 percent from the floor, including 4-of-9 from 3-point range with just under three minutes left in the opening frame. Boston isn't far behind (7-15 FG, 3-9 3-PT), but it hasn't found its groove yet offensively with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown sidelined.

Score: 15-12 Nets, 5:14 left in first quarter

Fresh off a 24-point performance vs. the Nets in his return from an eight-game absence, Kristaps Porzingis is off to a fast start in his first game at TD Garden since Feb. 23. He made the Celtics' first three buckets of the game and has seven of their 12 points.

Jrue Holiday added a bucket of his own and Sam Hauser made a 3-pointer, but Boston trails Brooklyn by three after seven minutes. D'Angelo Russell leads the Nets with five points. All five Brooklyn starters have scored.
