Regular Season Round 69: Boston C. - Minnesota T. 96-93
Date: January 3, 2011
Paul Pierce was content to set up his teammates while passing up his own shots. At halftime, Celtics coach Doc Rivers took him aside to remind him of his role on the team. “I forgot we had Rondo out there,” Pierce said. The Celtics captain scored 15 of his 23 points in the third quarter to help Boston overcome a double-digit deficit – and another double-digit rebounding performance by Kevin Love – and beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 96-93 on Monday night. Pierce scored 11 straight Boston points in the third quarter to cut a 10-point deficit in half, then added a jumper to make it 73-70 heading into the fourth. Rondo, who missed seven games last month with a sprained ankle, had 16 assists, and when the Timberwolves played him to pass he made a pair of key baskets down the stretch. “I thought Paul in the first half tried way too hard to get everybody involved,” Rivers said. “I told Paul, ‘You don’t need to be the playmaker. We need you to score.’” Love had 24 rebounds and 12 points, but he airballed a jumper with a little more than a minute left and Minnesota trailing by one. *Courtesy of www.masslive.com
