99 Celtics, 95 Raptors



This was a great win, it was incredible, they showed great determination and resolve.

At one point in the 3rd they were down by 10 and then a strong 4th quarter by Barbosa and KG and the Celtics were able to come back and win the game. It was a vintage KG game, he had 27 points and 10 rebounds on 11-18 shooting. Paul Pierce struggled mightily offensively but was able to gobble up 11 rebounds and dish out 6 assists to go with his 12 points. I love the way these 2 have been playing since Rondo's absence and since the trade rumors started going. They are absolutely playing like, "DON'T TRADE US DANNY", and the team has flipped the switch and been playing with the sense of urgency they should have all year.

Like I mentioned Leandro Barbosa had an incredible 4th quarter and finished with 14 points in 27 minutes (that has to be a record for minutes in a Celtics uniform). There were 6 players in double digits and Courtney Lee played great defense.

Also I have to give a nod to Jeff Green who has been on the court at the end of the game as a defender, he was never known as a great defender and has stepped up his game considerably this year.

That's 5 in a row.

Good call Bob on the score.
