Monday night set the 11th straight wins for the Boston Celtics against the Memphis Grizzlies with a score 110-105 to boot. The points went on by Paul Pierce scoring 19 points, and Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo for adding 18. In compliment, Rasheed Wallace registered 15 points, while Kendrick Perkins and Kevin Garnett each scored 13. Rondo delivered the awesome set of Boston’s 25 assists.
On the other hand, the Grizzlies was led by Rudy Gay scoring 23 points, O.J. Mayo ( 21), and Zach Randolph (20).
The game was tight throughout, with Boston holding its biggest lead at 103-95 after Rondo’s layup with 2:49 left. Memphis answered with six straight points, including a pair of baskets from Mayo to get within two with 1:29 to go.
Boston Celtics had 12 turnovers compared to 10 for Memphis.
We couldn’t get stops at the end,” Randolph said. “The last 2 or 3 minutes, they made plays, and we couldn’t get stops.
While in the paint, the Grizzlies scored 52 points, compared to Boston’s 46.
We didn’t do our best, obviously,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. “Our defense was not very good. They made shots. They beat us on the hustle board, and in a lot of areas. Other than that, we had some good execution down the stretch.
Way to go Boston!
