Regular Season Round 49: Boston C. - Minnesota T. 114-98
Date: December 19, 2014
The Boston Celtics said goodbye to their captain and then said hello to their third straight win on Friday night. With Rajon Rondo in Dallas courtesy of a trade that brought the Celtics three players and two draft picks, his old team responded with a spirited 114-98 victory over the injury-ravaged Minnesota Timberwolves. Up by two points with 7:55 left, the Celtics went on a 13-4 run, scoring the last eight points of that burst, to put the game away. Forward Kelly Olynyk, on fire during Boston's run of three wins in five nights, came off the bench to lead six Celtics in double figures with 21 points (to go with eight rebounds and three assist) as Boston improved to 10-14. During the winning streak, Olynyk has scored 66 points, going 26 of 38 from the floor, including 7 of 13 from 3-point range. He also has 23 rebounds in the three games. Forward Jeff Green had 18 points and seven rebounds and center Tyler Zeller, forward Jared Sullinger and Avery Bradley chipped in with 14 points apiece. Sullinger had 10 rebounds and Bradley had seven assists and five rebounds. Rookie guard Marcus Smart, who will get more time with the new-look roster, returned from his second foot injury, scoring all eight of his points in the fourth quarter. He had four assists. The loss was the fourth in a row and 10th in the last 11 games for Minnesota (5-20). Forward Shabazz Muhammad, starting after Corey Brewer was traded to the Houston Rockets earlier in the day, matched his career high with 28 points, while forward Chase Budinger had 19 off the bench. The Wolves were missing over 60 points per game if you combine the scoring averages of Brewer and three injured players, including the 20.4 points of guard Kevin Martin. Courtesy of: kspr.com
