ORLANDO -- E'Twaun Moore had another solid summer league performance as he scored 15 points to go with five rebounds and four assists, but it was unheralded Jonathan Gibson who stole the show for the Celtics summer league team in an 82-73 win over the Nets. Gibson, an ultra-quick guard from New Mexico State, struggled on Monday, but he poured in 15 of his 17 points in the second half Tuesday to lead the comeback after the Celtics scored just seven points in a brutal second quarter.
One game after scoring a game-high 20 points, first-round pick Jared Sullinger struggled against bigger competition. He went 3-for-12 playing mostly against 7-footer Jeff Foote, although he did grab 12 rebounds and had a solid fourth quarter.
Fellow first-rounder Fab Melo was scoreless in 13 minutes with five rebounds, while second-round pick Kris Joseph scored 11 points and had five rebounds and looked like the best player on the floor at times.
The Celtics are back in action at 11 a.m. on Wednesday against the Pacers.
