Owner Real Deal Posted March 4, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 BOSTON -- The Boston Celtics found their way to the right side of a rout for the first time in more than a month. Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo both had double-doubles and Paul Pierce came close to joining them as the Celtics beat the New Jersey Nets 107-94 on Friday night. "We're athletic all of a sudden," Boston coach Doc Rivers said. "The defense is good. We're rebounding and we're running. And that's good." Garnett had 20 points and 10 rebounds, Rondo finished with 14 points and 13 assists, and Pierce added eight assists to go with his team-high 27 points as the Celtics won by more than 10 for the first time since beating Toronto 100-64 on Feb. 1. Boston had been on the wrong end of several blowouts since, including three in a row during a five-game slide into the All-Star break. The Celtics have returned with three straight wins and the latest was hardly ever in doubt. The Celtics held a 26-point lead in the second half before New Jersey's reserves got the score slightly closer to respectable in the fourth quarter.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20120302_NJ@BOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
