Tonight the Boston Celtics took on the Houston Rockets at the Garden. The Celtics struggled to keep the lead all game but in the final minutes the c's managed to tie the game leading to another overtime. The C's pulled out the win in overtime with great play from the truth Paul Pierce who has had back to back 30 point games. Ray Allen also stepped up with 21 points. I think this five game winning streak is a sign that the Celtics have a complete team with good chemistry. This game was a real character builder for the Celtics and they were able to pull together as a unit and come out on top. Rajon Rondo missed a big shot in the closing minutes that would have won the game in regulation. But, the team was very supportive of Rondo after the miss and made him keep playing strong. I also saw good play from Greg Stiemsma who contributed to win with 8 points off the bench. With Jermaine still out, the Celtics need all the help they can get from big men off the bench and Greg could be a big spark for the Celtics. He showed that he is not afraid of taking jump shots and that he is a very good shooter for a 7 footer. The Celtics will Play the Sixers tomorrow night who are currently a game ahead of the Celtics in the Atlantic division. If the Celtics can pull out another win tomorrow night, they will continue to move themselves in better position for the playoffs.
