“It was weird. I didn’t like it & I didn’t play too good doing it. So I gotta not do that ever again.” Derrick White got his first ever triple-double. But to do it, he had to stat pad a bit. That’s just not D White, which is what makes him so vital. https://t.co/FSaq6I2GKL

Derrick White said he was stat padding a bit at the end there chasing the triple-double and he hated having those three turnovers late. So I asked him what it was like to be a stat padder for two minutes: "It was weird. I didn’t like it and I didn’t play too good doing it."
Derrick White on stat-padding, when he’s usually not a stat-padder: “It was weird. I didn’t like it. I didn’t play too good doing it.” @celticsblog
Derrick White: “I’m not usually one that tries to chase stats or what not … I’ve been close a lot of times, so I was like, ‘I’m going to try to get it this time.’” @celticsblog https://t.co/MkBWZDEem1

Joe Mazzulla on Derrick White’s performance tonight: “The triple-double is an example of who he is as a player, but it doesn’t show how great he is on both ends of the floor.”
