112 Celtics, 95 Cavaliers

Perk returned! We all expected him to get back on February 4th, but he convinced Doc and trainer Ed Lacert and he was a go.

All in all it was a great night for the Celtics, we won by 17, Perk returned, Rondo had another double double and KG, Pierce, and Ray all played 25 minutes or under. Which is great figuring they have a tough road trip ahead of them with Portland, Phoenix and the Lakers all waiting for them.

Perk had 7 points, 6 boards, and 3 assists and looked pretty good out there. He's not really an offensive player so 7 in his return is pretty good. Also, BMack pointed it out to me that Perk's shoulders didn't look as wide. Maybe I'm just having a hard time remembering what he looked like before the injury, but his shoulders didn't seem as broad. His interior defense was certainly missed, and it was really good to see him back.

Pierce scored a team high 24 points, while Ray had 18 and 3 for 3 from beyond the arc. This game was pretty much over before it began and the Cavs are just an embarrassment.
