Raptors-Celtics Preview

Posted Mar 13 2013 1:08PM

The Boston Celtics have played surprisingly well since losing point guard Rajon Rondo for the season.

They were stunningly awful without Paul Pierce for the first time in 2012-13.

Pierce should be back on Wednesday night when the Celtics try to win their 10th straight at home and 10th in a row overall versus the Toronto Raptors.

After the Celtics' five-game winning streak ended with Sunday's 91-79 loss at Oklahoma City, coach Doc Rivers decided on the flight to Charlotte to rest Pierce on Tuesday instead of Kevin Garnett or Jason Terry as Boston (34-29) finished a stretch of nine of 11 on the road. Without their leading scorer, the Celtics were routed 100-74 by the league-worst Bobcats.

Boston scored 28 second-half points and finished with a season-low 27 field goals.

"What I was thinking was that I wish I would have given Kevin (Garnett) a night off too, in the middle of the game," said Rivers, whose team fell to 14-6 since Rondo suffered a season-ending torn ACL. "That would have been terrific. Then we would have had two guys that had gotten some rest."

The Celtics can worry about paying back the Bobcats on Saturday, but their focus now is on the Raptors (25-39) as they open a three-game homestand.

The Celtics could have used Pierce in Charlotte, as well as a better effort from Garnett, who finished with a season-low five points, but now both get a chance to move up the all-time scoring list in front of their home fans. Pierce is 10 points shy of passing Charles Barkley for 20th place (23,758), while Garnett needs four to move ahead of Jerry West for 15th with 25,193 points.

Pierce had 12 points and 11 rebounds and Garnett scored a season-high 27 with 10 boards the last time these teams met, a 99-95 Boston road win Feb. 6.

The Celtics have won their last four in Boston versus Toronto by an average of 24.3 points after posting a 107-89 victory on Nov. 17.

Boston hasn't lost at home to the Raptors since Jan. 23, 2008, and it has a chance to win 10 straight at TD Garden for the first time since a 13-0 run from Nov. 18, 2008-Jan. 2, 2009.

"That's a tough place to play," Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry said after Tuesday's practice. "That Garden is special for those guys, but you know, we can go in there and win that game,"

Toronto, though, could find it difficult to leave Boston with a win if Rudy Gay can't play. The forward traveled with the team, but he's listed as questionable after missing Sunday's 100-96 win over Cleveland with a stiff back.

Facing the Celtics for the first time since being acquired from Memphis on Jan. 30, Gay had a team-best 25 with a season-high 12 rebounds on Feb. 6.

Raptors center Andrea Bargnani scored 13 points off the bench in that contest - his first after missing 26 with a torn elbow ligament - but the former No. 1 overall pick didn't make the trip to Boston due to a strained right elbow. The team said those injuries are unrelated but added Wednesday that Bargnani is expected to miss the rest of the season.

Toronto has won two of three since a five-game skid, but it has lost 19 of 23 in this series.

Garnett, Pierce reach milestones in Celtics' win

Posted Mar 13 2013 11:55PM

BOSTON (AP) Kevin Garnett received his standing ovation in the second quarter, then joined Boston's fans when they returned to their feet for Paul Pierce.

Garnett and Pierce added to their growing list of accomplishments with significant moves up the list of NBA career scoring leaders Wednesday in the Celtics' 112-88 rout of the Toronto Raptors.

Garnett passed Jerry West for 15th all-time and Pierce joined him in the top 20 scorers in league history when he passed Charles Barkley for No. 20.

"The joke around here is that every two days or something we're making history," Garnett said. "It's not a bad joke to be a part of."

Not at all.

Garnett needed four points to pass West (25,192 points) and finished with 12. Pierce finished with 15 points after entering the game nine points shy of tying Barkley (23,757) for 20th.

Garnett hit a bank shot with 10:03 left in the second quarter and received a standing ovation when his milestone was announced during a stoppage a few minutes later. Boston fans rose again in the third to recognize Pierce, who responded with a salute back to the crowd.

"When you pass a Barkley and a West, those names - that's impressive," Boston coach Doc Rivers said.

Both Garnett and Pierce were modest after the game, although Pierce did slip in a shot at some of the pointed comments the outspoken Barkley has made as a broadcaster.

"He always talks a lot of smack about us, so I'm happy it was him," Pierce said with a slight grin.

It was a short night for Boston's 30-something stars, who were resting comfortably on the bench through the fourth quarter as their teammates finished off the Raptors.

It was also a complete turnaround from Boston's performance the night before, when Pierce sat out and Boston stumbled to a 100-74 loss at Charlotte, which has the worst record in the NBA.

"Whether I played or not, there was no way we come out with the type of effort that we showed. That just wasn't our team. I was looking around, wondering where I was at," Pierce said. "That wasn't a team I recognized.

The Celtics looked much more familiar Wednesday.

Jeff Green scored 20 to lead the Celtics, who ended a two-game slide and won their 10th straight at home. Jason Terry and Jordan Crawford added 12 points apiece, while Brandon Bass and Avery Bradley both scored 11 for Boston.

Rudy Gay had 19 points and DeMar DeRozan added 17 points for the Raptors, who have lost seven of nine. Terrence Ross scored 13 for the Raptors, who got within four points before Boston blew it open in the third quarter.

"We had a four-point game in the third quarter and then we let frustration set in. We haven't been getting calls all year. We let frustration set in and we can't let that happen," Toronto coach Dwane Casey said. "When a team turns it up like that we've got to turn up our fight and get back into them. I thought that was the difference in the game. When they turned up the heat, we didn't respond."

After falling behind by 13 early in the third, Toronto scored nine straight to get right back in it. DeRozan scored 12 in the period, including a three-point play with 6:04 left that pulled Toronto within 60-56. Pierce answered with four straight to start Boston on a 14-4 run.

Bradley hit a jumper to put Boston up 66-58, then stole a pass and took it in for a layup.

Terry added a 3-pointer to end the run, giving Boston a 74-60 lead. The Celtics closed the period on a 21-6 run, leading 81-62 entering the fourth and making it a short night for Garnett.

Notes: The Celtics outscored the Raptors 28-18 in the second quarter and led 49-40 at halftime. ... The Raptors announced Wednesday that forward Andrea Bargnani was expected to miss the rest of the season with an injury to his right elbow. ... Gay was a game-time decision after missing a game with a stiff back. ... Toronto's Sebastian Telfair received was ejected after the third quarter with his second technical of the game.

Notebook: Celtics 112, Raptors 88

Brian Robb, for NBA.com
Posted Wed Mar 13, 2013 11:39 PM - Updated Wed Mar 13, 2013 11:39 PM

THE FACTS: The Boston Celtics scored 65 points in the second half, as they pulled away from the Toronto Raptors in the second half for an impressive 112-88 win. Jeff Green had a game-high 20 points to lead a balanced Celtics effort that featured seven players scoring in double figures. With the win, Boston has now posted 10 straight wins at TD Garden, all coming since Rajon Rondo went down with a torn right ACL. DeMar DeRozan had 17 points for Toronto in the setback.

QUOTABLE: ""I just come here night in and night out and do the things I do to make history. I'm happy. And when you pass a guy like (Charles) Barkley, one of the greatest players that ever played the game, says a lot."
- Paul Pierce on passing Barkley for the 20th NBA all-time ranking in points scored.

THE STAT: The Celtics came out of halftime with a renewed sense of aggression on the offensive end. They took the ball to the basket early and often, and were rewarded for it, as they shot a staggering 19 free throws in the frame. For the game, Boston set a new season-high with 35 free throws.

TURNING POINT: After a slow start to the second half, the Celtics closed out the third quarter with a 21-6, helping push a nine-point halftime edge into double digits.

QUOTABLE II: "We make a joke around here that every other two days someone's making history. It's not a bad joke to be a part of, though."
- Kevin Garnett on Pierce and himself setting new scoring records this season.

HOT: Pierce -- The 11-time All-Star took command in the third quarter, scoring nine of his 15 points in the period, including seven at the charity stripe.

NOT: Rudy Gay -- Toronto's midseason addition returned to the lineup after sitting out his last game with a sore back, but couldn't establish his shooting stroke. Gay went 3-of-10 from the field in the second half, which helped allow the Celtics to pull away.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Jason Terry -- Boston's sixth man did a little bit of everything for the Celtics on the offensive end, scoring 12 assists and dishing out seven assists in 23 minutes. It was his second highest assist total in a game with this season.

ROOKIE WATCH: Terrence Ross -- The young swingman out of Washington provided the Raptors with a scoring boost off the bench, scoring 13 points in 24 minutes, including a few rim-rocking dunks.

NOTABLE: It was a milestone night for a couple of Celtics, as Pierce and Garnett moved into 20th and 15th place respectively on the NBA all-time scoring list. Both players received a standing ovation from the TD Garden crowd for their accomplishments. Pierce also passed Allen Iverson for 10th all-time in free throws made. Andrea Bargnani did not play due to a right elbow injury. He will miss the remainder of the season for Toronto. Sebastian Telfair was ejected in the fourth quarter for arguing with an official.

UP NEXT: For Toronto, Friday vs. Charlotte, Sunday vs. Miami, Wednesday @ Charlotte. For Boston, Saturday vs. Charlotte, Monday vs. Miami, Wednesday @ New Orleans.
