Regular Season Round 30: Boston C. - Brooklyn N. 89-83

Date: November 24, 2010
Rajon Rondo is out with a hamstring injury, Delonte West broke his wrist Wednesday night and fourth-string point guard Marquis Daniels nearly threw his back out when he committed an unforgivable no-no. He tried to help Shaquille O'Neal - all 345 pounds or more of him - up from the floor. 'No one lifts Shaq,' Celtics coach Doc Rivers said, smirking. 'I told them that.' It was one of the only times that O'Neal needed help against New Jersey, scoring a season-high 25 points and even hitting four straight free throws as Boston came back to beat the Nets 89-83. O'Neal also matched his season high with 11 rebounds for his second straight double-double. 'I told him he looked like the 2000 Shaq. (Also) the 1999 Shaq, the 2001 and 2002 to 2003 to 2004 to 2005 to 2006,' Celtics forward Kevin Garnett said. 'He definitely was the target tonight. We rode him.' O'Neal scored Boston's first six points and had eight in the first quarter as the Celtics found him underneath for easy lay-ins. He went 9 for 10 from the floor and 7 for 13 from the line - 5 for 8 in the fourth quarter alone as the Nets resorted to Hack-a-Shaq to get back into the game. 'They were very unselfish, I go to the hole and got a lot of easy baskets,' O'Neal said. 'That's kind of how I want to play at 38.' Paul Pierce scored 18 points, and Ray Allen had 15 points and seven assists for the defending Eastern Conference champions, who have won consecutive games after losing two straight for the first time all season. But this one was thanks to O'Neal, who signed with the Celtics for the veteran's minimum in search of his fifth NBA title. *Courtesy of www.msn.foxsports.com
