Rondo, Celtics cruise past Pistons
Basketball Betting Lines
11/21/2008 -
Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rajon Rondo had 18 points and doled out eight
assists to help the Celtics to a 98-80 victory over the Pistons in a rematch
of last season's Eastern Conference Finals.
Kevin Garnett added 15 points in his return from a one-game suspension for
hitting Milwaukee's Andrew Bogut during Boston's 102-97 overtime win on
Saturday. Tony Allen chipped in 13 points and Ray Allen 12 for Boston, which
has won three in a row.
"The overall effort was there. This is a huge game for us," said Garnett.
"This is probably one of the better teams, not only in the Eastern Conference,
but in our league. It's a team we might see later on so the more the merrier."
Allen Iverson scored 16 points and had four assists for the Pistons, who have
dropped two of three. Rasheed Wallace had 13 points and Richard Hamilton 12 in
defeat.
"We had a tough schedule, but that's no excuse," said Hamilton. "They've
convincingly beaten us two times, once home and once here. So we've got to be
a lot better. Anytime you play against tough teams, all the little stuff that
you don't do against the bad teams, you can't get away with playing against
the good teams. So this tells us we've got a lot of work to do."
The teams played to a 21-21 tie after the first quarter, and Boston led 49-40
at the half.
The Celts opened a 13-point lead as Paul Pierce hit two free throws and
Garnett added a layup. Though a Kwame Brown free throw brought Detroit within
59-48 with 8:16 left in the third.
Boston outscored the visitors 16-4 over the next 5:19 to assume a 75-52 lead.
Rondo and Garnett accounted for the first nine and 11 total points on the
surge.
The Pistons found themselves down by 20, 77-57, heading into the final 12
minutes.
Glen Davis poured in a layup, Gabe Pruitt nailed a jumper and Eddie House
drained a three to open the fourth quarter, and the Celts were up 84-57 with
8:44 left in regulation.
