Regular Season Round 54: Chicago B. - Boston C. 89-80
Date: February 16, 2012
Can't beat the woeful Detroit Pistons at home, but can beat the best team in the East (Chicago) at their place, and then take them down to the wire less than a week later on their turf? The Boston Celtics continue their consistently inconsistent ways with yet another good, but not good enough performance in losing 89-80 to the Bulls. For the Celtics (15-14), it's their fourth loss in the last five games which came on the heels of them winning nine of the previous 10. After falling behind by as many as 16 points on Thursday, the Celtics fought back and eventually took a brief lead in the fourth quarter. However, after a Ray Allen jumper tied the game at 69, Chicago went on a 12-0 run that proved to be too much for the Celtics to overcome. Kevin Garnett, who returned to the lineup after missing one game with a hip flexor injury, had 18 points and 10 rebounds. And Allen, who has been in a shooting slump lately, had a strong second half against the Bulls and finished with 12 points. As for the Bulls, who continue to play without reigning league MVP Derrick Rose (back), Carlos Boozer had 23 points and 15 rebounds while newly-named All-Star Luol Deng had 23 points and 10 assists for the Bulls who came into the game looking to avenge a 4-point loss to Boston earlier this week. The Bulls (25-7) also got huge production from Joakim Noah who had 15 points and 16 rebounds. The loss continues the kind of trend -- a losing one -- that the C's want no part of. Unfortunately for them, things won't get any easier anytime soon. They play at Detroit on Sunday -- the same Pistons team that beat them by 10 points earlier this week -- followed by road games in Dallas and Oklahoma City. *Courtesy of www.csnne.com
