White came close to recording a triple-double, finishing with 14 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds in a 117-108 victory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nesn-in-content-ad__copy\">Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<p>The hotel might not be up to White\u2019s standards, but he is a fan of the city\u2019s food. \u201cThe food is good, though,\u201d White said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s the healthiest for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Memphis is famous for its excellent barbecue, but it may not be the best choice the night before or on game day.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, Boston only has to face Memphis once a season since they both play in separate conferences. However, this year, White will have to face the Memphis hotel at least twice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nesn-in-content-ad__copy\">Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<p>The Celtics open their preseason in Memphis on Oct. 8th.
