Enough with the close game Celtics, you're going to give your fans a heart attack. The Celtics won there 5th in a row and 9th in a row at home as they survived Hawks late rally. The Hawks came back after being down and tied it with 25 seconds. The Celtics had a chance for the win but Pierce missed the jumper and Hawks grabbed the rebound with 2 seconds left to win it, they went to Josh Smith but he missed the jumber and the Celtics headed to there 11th overtime of the season. After back and forth action and 3 points by Green, Smith, and Pierce we were all tied up with 30 seconds. Then Jason Terry hit a clutch 3 to give the Celtics a 3 point lead, Hawks would turn it over and Terry sealed the deal with 2 free throws. Lets look at the stats:
Paul Pierce: 27 points 7 rebounds and 7 assists
Brandon Bass: 8 points and 2 rebounds
Kevin Garnett: 17 points and 8 rebounds
Courtney Lee: 4 points and 4 rebounds
Avery Bradley: 5 points and 4 assists
Honorable Mention:
Jason Terry: 19 points 5 assists and went 3-4 shooting 3's
I was tempted to give Terry player of the game but Pierce played great and it was hard not to give it to him. I have been dissapointed in Courtney Lee lately, hasnt been doing good and hasn't been putting much points. Anyway with that win the Celtics are tied with the Hawks for 6th but own the tiebreaker, Bulls won so they won't be moving up. Next up we face the Thunder who are 27-4 at home. Should be a good one.
