The Celtics edged the Pacers 83-81 in there BEST win of the year. It was especially great cause it was against a great team like the Pacers in there home court on the 2nd day of a back to back. Celtics were down 9 with under 5 minutes left but went on a 9-0 run to tie it up. The Celtics had a chance to win it with 23 seconds left and Doc was at it again drawing up a great play. 2 Pacers defender was on Pierce who made a nice effort to block West and KG passed it to Green who hit the layup with 0.5 seconds left to take the lead. Pacers had one last chance they tried an alley oop but Pierce was there to block it. Lets look at the stats:
Paul Pierce: 13 points and 8 rebounds
Brandon Bass: 4 points and 6 rebounds
Kevin Garnett: 18 points 10 rebounds and shot 7-10 and even made a 3 pointer!
Courtney Lee: 6 points and 4 rebounds
Avery Bradley: 13 points and 4 assists
Kevin Garnett gets player of the game for his excellent performance and he is now 10th all time in rebounds. Congrats KG.The Celtics are now .5 games behind the Bulls and 1 game behind the Hawks. We have a big game against the Hawks tomorrow and a win would put is in 6th place and maybe in 5th if the Bulls lose. LETS GO CELTICS!
