Over the course of the next twelve minutes spanning halftime, White would lead all scorers with 14 points to turn a 4-point deficit into a 20-point lead.<\/p>\n<div id=\"HbIn1U\">\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1XOorgdb0q4?rel=0\" style=\"top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" scrolling=\"no\" allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"5CFstJ\">An electric stretch in the third quarter included three consecutive made threes, a handful of assists, two blocks, and a dunk pushed the Knicks on the brink.  Timely clutch play at the end of the game and a trip to the free throw line to close them out gave the TD Garden crowd a chance to shower White with deserved praise.<\/p>\n<p id=\"GzluPc\">\u201cWe\u2019ve got the best fans in the league so, I\u2019m always thankful and grateful for them,\u201d White said after scoring 30 points and hitting 6-of-10 from behind the arc.  \u201cI know I\u2019m not the MVP, but it\u2019s always cool to hear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"uMFQAz\">In a disastrous game in the In-Season Tournament quarterfinals, White turned the ball over five times (more than he had in three previous games combined) and made just two of his nine three-pointers against the Pacers.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"so6Pfb\">\n<div data-anthem-component=\"readmore\" data-anthem-component-data='{\"stories\":[{\"title\":\"LEGEND\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.celticsblog.com\/2023\/4\/20\/23688947\/legend-derrick-white-boston-celtics-legend-high-uccs-colorado-springs-boulder-oreos-wisdom-teeth\"}]}'><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p id=\"FOOhzO\">\u201cObviously, you think about it.  We got all this time off which is rare in the NBA,\u201d White said of the scheduling quirk of the IST and a chance to finally redeem himself on Friday.  \u201cAfter a couple of days, I moved on, just trying to not have two bad games in a row.  I played a lot better today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"yQ6URM\">Even with the talent upgrade around him, White\u2019s numbers are up across the board and he leads the team in plus\/minus (+10.2).  Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau called White \u201cone of the most underrated players in the league,\u201d but his value isn\u2019t lost on his teammates.<\/p>\n<p id=\"HFZNrS\">\u201cWhere it really shows \u2014 he already puts up great stats, his numbers are really good \u2014 but if you don\u2019t watch the game, you don\u2019t see all those steals, something like where he recovers on defense when it\u2019s already super late and somehow, he gets a steal,\u201d Porzingis said.  \u201cIt\u2019s those small plays that can really change a game, really change the momentum.  He\u2019s really good at that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"daJxKi\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.celticsblog.com\/2023\/12\/8\/23993519\/derrick-white-father-richard-white-aims-to-make-celtics-twitter-a-little-less-angsty\">In an interview with CelticsBlog\u2019s Noa Dalzell<\/a>, his father, Richard White, discussed where his son\u2019s motivation comes from and how it all starts before the season even starts.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"KAIE6v\">\u201cAt the beginning of the year, I tell Derrick, \u2018Here are your goals, based on how much playing time you get and where you were last year. You should try to be better from last year to this year,\u2019\u201d Richard said. \u201cWe have kind of a thing where we want to meet those goals \u2014 it\u2019s enough of a challenge where if you do meet that goal, it\u2019s going to really contribute to the success of the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"csQ4Rj\">Maybe an MVP trophy should be on the to-do list next offseason.<\/p>\n<p id=\"i95LmG\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>        Photo by Brian Babineau\/NBAE via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>  After a tough game in the In-Season Tournament quarterfinals, the Celtics starting point guard redeemed himself on Friday night.
