The Celtics are ON FIRE here at the Garden. They shot 66.7 percent in the first quarter and built a 38-23 lead.
Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen each scored 11 points.
Once again, Rajon Rondo is quietly controlling the tempo. Time and again in the first, he hit open shooters, who haven’t missed much. Rondo also has five points, four rebounds and six assists. Could this be the start of another triple-double? Jason Kidd just doesn’t look like he has the jets to stick with Rondo. Not anymore at least.
We’ll see what Jose Barea can do.
