When Jeff Green goes to the basket, the result is often positive for the Boston Celtics.

During the second quarter of Friday’s game between Boston and the Orlando Magic, Green penetrated the defense and threw down a monstrous one-handed dunk over Magic forward Jason Maxiell. The Celtics forward was also fouled on the play.

This is the kind of aggressive offense that Celtics fans want to see from Green on a consistent basis. Someone with his athleticism and ability to score at the rim should not hang around the perimeter.
