Owner Real Deal Posted November 26, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 http://sports.cbsimg.net/u/photos/basketball/nba/img21136089.jpg ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Boston Celtics will be the first to admit they aren't playing their best defensive basketball right now. But having two of the league's best closers and one of its top point guards certainly helps with the rough patches. Kevin Garnett had 24 points and 10 rebounds, Paul Pierce added 23 points and Rajon Rondo was one rebound shy of a triple double with 15 points and 16 assists as the Boston Celtics outlasted the Orlando Magic 116-110 in overtime Sunday night. The victory was their second straight overall and sixth consecutive against the Magic. Pierce had 14 points after halftime, and said that despite his team's recent struggles defensively, it was a much needed character building kind of victory. "That's what it's all about," he said. "Finding a way to win. Not feeling sorry for ourselves late about giving up a pretty good lead. And just finding a way to grind it out. And that's what we did." J.J. Redick scored 21 and Jameer Nelson had 20 for the Magic, whose loss snapped a two-game winning streak. Orlando led by as many as seven in the fourth quarter, but had 19 turnovers that led to 23 Celtics' points. It was the seventh consecutive game in which the Magic have had at least 15 turnovers. It was also the latest in a string of games in which their own miscues cost them a win.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20121125_BOS@ORL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
