Those Memphis Grizzlies sure are a pesky bunch. They played their hearts out tonight against the Celtics. I almost felt bad when Ray Allen (18 points, 5-6 3FG) drilled a 25-footer with 17 seconds left to beat the shot clock and seal the Celtics 110-105 victory.
In all seriousness, this was an entertaining basketball game. The Cs biggest lead of the game was 6-points and that didn't come until late in the 4th quarter.
The difference in this game – three point shooting. The Celtics were 10-20, Memphis 1-13.
Rajon Rondo – 18 points, 8-12 FG, 9 assists
Kevin Garnett – 13 points, 8 rebounds
Rasheed Wallace had a tough shooting night (15 points, 6-15 FG), but he was effective on the block, shooting over Zach Randolph.
The Celtics did a good job controlling the boards. Both teams had 11 offensive rebounds and 25 defense rebounds.
Prior to the game, the Celtics announced that Lester Hudson is headed to the D-League. Could we see the return of Bill Walker?
