Celts End Two Game Skid

The C's outlasted a sorely undermanned (8 players dressed) Golden State Warriors team by a score of 109-95. Up just a single point at the end of the first half, the Celtics went on a 12-0 in the third quarter that proved to be the difference in the game. A well rounded attack handled a Warriors team tonight:

• The starting lineup combined to go 32-54 from the floor as each player was in double figures. No starter had over 12 attempts, and each was +11 when on the floor or better.
  
• Rajon Rondo put up a season high 18 points (8-12 FGs), 7 rebounds, 12 assists (4 turnovers), and kept his 25% free throw percentage intact after going 1-4 tonight (4-16 on the season). In his team high 37 minutes, Rondo was a team high +18.
• Rasheed (8 points) and House (11) combined 5-11 from beyond the arc as the bench were both a big factor after a two game hiatus during the losing streak.
• Boston went 7-14 from three point range in the second half after they spent most of the first half trying to get the ball down low against a Warriors team that started Mikki Moore (ew) at center.
  
• The C's put up 25 points off of 21 GS turnovers.

Good win for the Celtics tonight who are now an impressive 9-3 and will take on the Orlando Magic Friday night who come into Boston with an identical record.
