Regular Season Round 79: Sacramento K. - Boston C. 120-95

Date: March 16, 2012
The Sacramento Kings couldn't miss - or at least it seemed that way. Their ability to knock down a ton of shots, KO'd the Boston Celtics in surprisingly emphatic fashion, 120-95. The 120 points were the most the C's gave up this season. DeMarcus Cousins (20 points, seven rebounds). Marcus Thornton (36 points). Isaiah Thomas (13 points, 10 assists). If he had a Kings jersey on, chances were pretty good that he was making shots. After a relatively close first half, the Kings blew the game wide open with a 41-point third quarter - the most points any team has scored in any quarter against the Celtics this season. It was one of the few games this season in which the Celtics defense disappeared … for the entire game. One of the few brightspots for Boston was Ray Allen, who had a game-high 26 points and Rajon Rondo who led all players with 12 assists. The jumpers that Thornton made for the most part were open or lightly contested. The baskets around the basket scored by Cousins had little resistance as well. It was so bad, Celtics coach Doc Rivers took his starters off the floor with more than six minutes to play, as clear a signal as any that this game was a wrap and that he wanted to preserve his core guys for Saturday night's game at Denver. With the game so out of hand, the worst thing you want if you're Boston is for someone to get hurt. But that's exactly what happened to Paul Pierce, who suffered what team officials described as a mild ankle sprain. He did not return to the game, but considering its lopsided nature, he probably would have been on the bench even if healthy. *Courtesy of www.csnne.com
