Celtics 109 Knicks 97


Last night was the first time in a long time that Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett dominated a game. Pierce scored 29 points, Garnett had 22 and Boston cruised to its third straight lopsided victory at home. Now if they could only do this against good teams.

Rajon only had 5 point, but he didn't need to score. His 12 assists were enough to keep the Celtics offense flowing (Rondo had 12 assists in just 27 minutes and tied Bob Cousy for 5th place among Celtics players for assists in one season with 642). This is actually the statline you want to see from Rajon. If he doesn't have to score, but puts up a bunch of assists, it usually means the Celtics offense is doing well.

The Celtics moved into a 3rd place tie in the East with Atlanta, which lost to Toronto last night. That is all well and good, but this upcoming road trip should give us an answer to whether or not the Celtics are playing better or just beating up terrible teams. On the road trip the Celtics play Houston, Dallas and Utah, all of which are playoff teams.
