Big Baby: Triple Double, 19 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 stitches -- this was a good day for the Boston Celtics. They are now home after a long road trip, and as Doc says, " this is big because we need a break to get our legs back underneath us." The C's played the Oklahoma City Thunder in what started as a close game until the C's stepped up the D and held OKC to 39 points in the second half after having a tie game at the half. For the 3rd straight game Glen "Big Baby" Davis was in the starting lineup for 'the day by day' Kevin Garnett, and Big Baby left his sweat out on the court as well as some blood.
Davis has been putting 110 % into every play he is involved in. Davis scored 19 points with 10 rebounds and took an elbow to the head from Kevin Durrant which led to 10 stitches but that did not slow him down at all. Captain Paul Pierce also stepped up as usual and led the game with 27 points, 20 of which came in the 2nd half. Rondo and Marbury combined for 19 assists and House scored 16 off the bench which is going to be a huge factor come playoff time! The final of the game was 103-84 making the C's 55-19 still .600 behind the Magic for the 2 seed. If the Boston Celtics keep up the energy they played with today and give our starters a rest, they should be looking great heading into the 09 playoffs. The C's next game is Wednesday, April Fool's Day against 33-40 Charlotte Bobcats at 7:30 so stay tuned; this is only going to get better. Lets Go Celts!
