Celtics win without Garnett, top Knicks again
Basketball Betting Lines
11/18/2008 -
Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Paul Pierce scored 22 points and hauled in
eight rebounds to lead the Kevin Garnett-less Celtics in a 110-101 victory
over the Knicks.
Garnett sat out after being suspended for hitting Milwaukee's Andrew Bogut
during Boston's 102-97 overtime win on Saturday. The one-game suspension cost
Garnett upwards of $200,000. Brian Scalabrine started in his place and had
eight points, including a clutch three-pointer down the stretch.
"Even though Kevin's out, it's not like I'm saying I have to go out and score
30," said Pierce. "I know what type of team we have and knowing we have guys
that can step up and that's what happened tonight."
Kendrick Perkins had 16 points for the Celtics, who have won two in a row and
eight of nine overall. Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen scored 15 points each in the
win.
Wilson Chandler scored 23 points for the Knicks, who have lost two straight
and three of five overall. Zach Randolph had 18 points and eight boards, while
Chris Duhon had 15 points and five helpers.
Down 12 late in the fourth, the Knickerbockers outscored the Celtics 8-3 to
get back in the game.
"Well, you know, I thought the last sixteen minutes we upped our intensity
where we had to have it the whole game," said Knicks head coach Mike D'Antoni.
"I'm kind of energized right now because we can do that. We took it up, I
thought we played harder than them the last sixteen minutes, and that's what
we had to do."
Chandler, Nate Robinson and David Lee connected on consecutive baskets before
Pierce nailed a three. Randolph then added a pair of free throws to make it
97-90 with 4:50 left in regulation.
A Duhon three-ball and Chandler layup pulled the Knicks within four points
moments later, but Pierce hit a free throw and Scalabrine drained a three
from the left wing to make it 107-99 and all but seal the win.
The Knicks edged the Celtics for a 28-26 lead after the first 12 minutes.
With Boston up by two, Glen Davis connected on a jumper that served as the
first two of eight straight Celtics points. Allen's layup closed the run to
give the home team a 47-37 lead with 5:21 left in the half.
As the second quarter came to a close, the Celtics held a 56-47 lead.
Two free throws from Pierce and a Eddie House jumper gave the Celtics an 89-77
lead heading into the fourth frame.
