Rookie turns heads despite Boston’s 105-95 loss
Hugo Gonzalez, Boston’s lone 2025 first-round pick, logged 23 tough minutes at Madison Square Garden. Six points, four rebounds, and two steals later, the 19-year-old proved his energy is real—so real that even flat soda might borrow some.
Coach Joe Mazzulla praised Hugo’s understanding of his role and defensive drive, while Jaylen Brown lauded his fight: “We need more of that.” Despite the loss, one thing’s clear—Gonzalez brought spark, grit, and a glimpse of Boston’s future.
