The Boston Celtics are finally starting to come together and play with the chemistry they have showed over the last few years. The Celtics have now won 10 out of their last 13 games. The C's showed great poise against the Orlando Magic recently when they were down by over twenty points at half time and managed to come back and win decisively. It appears that the team is starting to round itself into shape and the Celtics are looking like much more of a championship title contender. Today, the Celtics played the Chicago Bulls who currently have the best record in the NBA and have won five straight games. The Celtics managed to pull out a close win by the score of 95 to 91. The C's had a 14 point lead with five minutes to go but the Bulls managed to cut the deficient to three. However, through the strong play of Rajon Rondo who was able to make four consecutive free throws down the stretch, the C's pulled out the W. Rondo had an incredible game with 32 points 15 assists and 10 rebounds recording his 2nd triple double of the season. Kevin Garnett also contributed with 13 points and 12 rebounds. Although the Bulls were without their point guard and last year's mvp Derrick Rose, the Celtics showed a will to win and that was lacking from this team earlier in the season. I also saw substantial production off the Bench from Rookie JaJuan Johnson who scored 12 points in place of Brandon Bass currently is out with a sore knee.
