It took Robert Williams only 40 games to set a Boston Celtics single-season record.
The Celtics big man broke the franchise record for most dunks in a season during Saturday's game vs. the New Orleans Pelicans. He notched his 95th dunk of the campaign to top Brandon Bass' previous record set in 2014-15, per Taylor Snow of Celtics.com.

He brought down 10 boards in the first half and entered Saturday averaging 9.2 rebounds per game. He's also averaged 2.1 blocks.
Williams has made the most of his opportity as a starter this season. He still has to prove he's put his nagging injuries behind him, but it's becoming more and more clear the Celtics might have something special.
