Veteran big man Charles Bassey was a late addition to Boston’s summer squad but had an impressive debut, registering 14 points and 11 rebounds in just 18 minutes. Bassey, who battled injuries while playing for the 76ers and Spurs over the last four seasons, said he is now healthy and eager for another shot. “He’s a guy that’s probably playing for what’s next,” Stevens said. “I just think he’s a guy we’ve paid attention to from afar for a long time. We’re watching all these guys all the time, and I thought he did a really good job yesterday. He probably was the biggest reason we won the game, I thought.”
