The Celtics Sneak By the Pistons, 86-78
With this win, the Celtics have now won 10 straight. This was a high octane game, Jason Maxiell (a UC grad) was just outworking the Celtics on the glass, and Kendrick Perkins didn't seem to like it. He was so upset that he got to the point to foul Maxiell on the way up for a shot by slamming his neck to the court. Maxiell wouldn't be having any of that, he immediately hopped of the ground and pushed Perkins away. Perkins was awarded a flagrant level 2, and you know what that means, he was ejected. Maxiell only got t'd up, which was probably the right call. Anyway, Allen Iverson surpassed Charles Barkley in the all-time points category to move to 16th place, he would score 19. Rodney Stuckey (a future star) also added 19 points, with Antonio Mcdyess adding 14 rebounds. Kevin Garnett contributed to the Celtic's victory with 22 point and 12 boards. Paul Pierce also had a double-double with 20 points and 10 rebounds. This is a quality win for the Celtics. Discuss the harsh foul in the comments.
