The Celtics won at TD Garden in Massachusetts Wednesday by the final of 96-73 after an impressive showing from the field. The win moves the Celtics to just 5-8 on the season and breaks a 5 game losing streak. They are now 4.5 games back of first place in the division and still have. Toronto’s loss puts them at 4-11 this season and came on a day that no shots would fall for the hapless team.
Toronto was just 37% shooting from the floor and a measly 27% from 3- point range. There leading scorer was Forbes who had just 18 points in the contest. Derozen was 2nd best with 11 while their third place shooter had just 9 points. Even a sub-par Boston team was able to fully dismantle Toronto and totally dominate throughout. Even after losing Rondo in the third quarter, Boston was able to still pour points on.
The Celtics were led by Rondo who had 21 points in the game before having to leave with an injury. The injury occurred after a flagrant foul committed by Toronto in the third quarter. Rondo injured his wrist on the play and did not return. The injury is said to be nothing serious and the Celtics did not return him for precautionary reasons and due to their large lead in the contest. Kevin Garnett also had 15 points for the Celtics and 7 rebounds. The Celtics continue to look less then good, as their record indicates, and have a lot to prove and a lot tougher teams to face
