Celtics Keep Chugging Against Bulls
This Celtic team looks a lot like the one that won 19-in-a-row last season. They’re playing strong team defense, holding the Bulls to just 80 points, and are getting offensive contributions from everyone. The Celtics won in a powerful way, with a final score of 106-80.
Paul Pierce has stepped up, and Kevin Garnett’s mid-range jump shots seems to be finding the net with much more regularity at this point. Rajon Rondo, previously a threat to the Celtics at the free throw line, is now hitting shots from the charity stripe with more regularity.
Kendrick Perkins, another young player, has stepped up in a big way. He is averaging 7.6 rebounds and 12 points per game, and has become a defensive presence as a shot blocker down low.
Boston looks unstoppable right now, as they hold the best record in the entire NBA, as well as the best road record (11-1). Throw in a 10 game win streak, and this team looks like it should.
