Regular Season Round 152: Boston C. - Cleveland C. 91-97
Date: April 5, 2013
Tristan Thompson had career highs with 29 points and 17 rebounds and the Cavaliers ended a 10-game losing streak with a 97-91 victory over the Boston Celtics on Friday. Alonzo Gee also had a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Cavs, who held the Celtics to 16 points in the third quarter and held on for their first win since March 12. The Cavs avoided their 11th consecutive loss, which would have been the second-longest streak under coach Byron Scott. Wayne Ellington scored 12 points and Kyrie Irving added 11 points for the Cavs in his third game back since missing eight with a sprained shoulder. The Celtics played without team captain Paul Pierce, who was out with a sore ankle. The move might have cost the slumping Celtics, who have lost 8-of-11 and are clinging to the seventh playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Jeff Green scored 23 points for the Celtics and Shavlik Randolph had 16 points before fouling out with 6:57 left in the fourth. Brandon Bass scored 12 and Avery Bradley had 10 points for the Celtics. The Cavs outrebounded the Celtics 58-42 and had a 52-38 scoring advantage in the paint. The Cavs hadn’t won since beating the Washington Wizards 95-90. They held a 14-point lead against the Celtics last week in Cleveland before the Celtics rallied and won on Green’s layup at the buzzer. The Cavs held on to this lead — firmly. The Celtics never recovered after going without a field goal for more than five minutes in the third quarter. The Cavs held the Celtics to 6-of-22 shooting in the decisive third quarter. The Celtics started the quarter well with a 10-3 run for a 62-55 lead, then went without a field goal for the next 5:18. The Cavs outscored the Celtics 13-1 during the span with the Celtics’ only point coming on a free throw made by Randolph with 4:45 left in the third. It was Randolph’s 14th point of the game, but he missed on his second free-throw attempt then had to go to the bench barely a minute later when he was called for his fifth foul. Thompson made both foul shots to put the Cavs ahead 68-63 with 3:19 left in the quarter. Jordan Crawford’s 3-pointer with 32 seconds left somewhat salvaged a dismal quarter for the Celtics, who trailed 74-68 entering the fourth. The Cavs scored the first eight points of the fourth, including two free throws by C.J. Miles after taking a flagrant foul from Jason Terry at midcourt. The Celtics never got closer than four points the of the way. Courtesy of: ohio.com
