Tonight was the NBA's all star game and two members of the Boston Celtics were present in Orlando for the east team. Both Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce were on the team as reserves. Paul Pierce scored 3 points with 2 assists and Rondo had 2 points with 8 assists. The Celtics players did not get much playing time but Rondo helped the east team with his passing ability and he was able to find Pierce for a wide open 3 point shot. The west ended up winning the game with great play from Kevin Durant who scored 36 points and had 7 rebounds. The Celtics will return to action on tuesday when they will take on the Cleveland Cavilers on the road. The Celtics have lost their last five games and this will be a must win game for the team. Many players on the C's have suffered injuries throughout their losing streak including Jermaine O'Neal, Brandon Bass, and Chris Wilcox. The Celtics also have played without Rondo the last two games after he was ejected in a game against Detroit after throwing the basketball at the Ref. Rondo is clearly feeling the frusturation from the Celtics latest losing streak and hopefully the team can start to turn it around with a win on tuesday.
