Garnett Injured as Celtics Turn Game Over to Pistons

The Celtics shot 44.2 percent through the first three quarters, allowed the Pistons to shoot 55.7 percent and turned the ball over 21 times, losing 104-92 in Detroit. Kevin [...]
Shaq Hits the Slopes at Nashoba

Allen’s 22 Helps Celtics Overcome Foul Disparity and Push Streak to 14
For almost three quarters, nothing was going the Boston Celtics’ way. The Philadelphia 76ers were playing a switching, active and stingy defense that confused and offset the Celtics offensive ball movement. Even when the Celtics got good looks at the basket, the ball always seemed to rim out at the last second, leading to under [...]
Shaq Waves the Baton for the Boston Pops
A future Hall of Famer, a rapper, a cop, and now a maestro.

2nd Half Leads Celtics Past Hawks
In beating the Atlanta Hawks 102-90, the Celtics originally looked like they might have a tough time of things. Rajon Rondo is out indefinitely (a couple of weeks, probably) with a sprained ankle, and Shaq was still a cautious scratch. Boston only was 8/11 on free throws, to Atlanta’s 19/24. Though Boston began their 12-game [...]
Celtics Bury Knicks 118-116 on Pierce Game-Winner
Paul Pierce said, “the Knicks have arrived.” Maybe not just yet. Pierce scored 32 points for the Celtics, including the go-ahead jumper with 0.4 seconds on the clock to fuel their 11th win in a row. Amar’e Stoudemire’s three-pointer at the buzzer was ruled late, thus ending New York’s winning streak of eight straight. Stoudemire [...]
Celtics Skin Bobcats on Road
It wasn’t a pretty game, but mostly for the Bobcats, who lost to the Boston Celtics 93-62. That’s the lowest number of points allowed by the Celtics in a game all season. With Shaquille O’Neal out one more game with a sore calf, Semih Erden filled in, and played 40:42. Charlotte started out good early, [...]

No ‘Melo? No Problem for the Celtics
Carmelo Anthony’s right knee was inflamed, and so was Denver’s hopes of winning George Karl his 1000th game. In the end, Denver made it close, but Boston swatted them back down, and took the win 105-89. All the way into the 3rd, Denver held their own, but Boston was able to charge forward and lead [...]
Ray Allen’s 3 Seals 5th Straight for Boston
He had been cold all night long, but Paul Pierce found Ray Allen in the corner with 10.7 seconds left in the game to hit a three pointer and seal the win for Boston on Wednesday night. The Celtics took home their fifth straight victory with a 99-95 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on [...]
Shaq, Garnett Star as Celtics Beat Raptors in Rondo’s Return
The last time the Raptors and Celtics hit the court, Rajon Rondo did not play with a hamstring injury, and the Celtics lost 102-101, thanks to some shoddy officiating. They were left with a bad taste in their mouth, and as a result they haven’t lost since, soundly beating both the Hawks and Nets until [...]
Shaq Too Big for Nets; Celtics Rally in Boston
At a conservative 325 pounds, Shaquille O’Neal outweighs the heaviest Net player by 60 pounds. That size differential was on full display Wednesday night at the TD Garden, where the Boston Celtics defeated the New Jersey Nets, 89-83. O’Neal scored 25 points (including 7-13 on free throws, three times sinking both) and grabbed 11 rebounds, [...]
39 First Quarter Points Help Celtics End Skid in Atlanta
Shaquille O’Neal won the opening tip-off. That was the last time the Atlanta Hawks and the Boston Celtics were tied.
