Both squads played with makeshift rosters in their final Summer League contest, and the Celtics definitely looked like the more invested team throughout all four quarters. Boston already owned a 27-20 lead after one, which was also the only quarter where Atlanta was ahead, albeit by a mere two points.

Gonzalez was one of three Celtics rookies on the Summer League roster, joining Amari Williams and Max Shulga. Interestingly, all three of them grew up overseas before coming stateside to pursue their basketball careers. It’s a unique international flavor for the Celtics that perhaps has some added side benefits while on the court.

The Celtics closed out their 2025 Summer League schedule with a comprehensive victory over the Atlanta Hawks, winning 101-80 in Las Vegas.
