The Celtics come up with a big win tonight 91-89 against the New York Knicks with the return of Rajon Rondo from his wrist injury! I honestly didn't watch most of the game because I was stuck at work, but I was able to catch the end of the 4th quarter. The three by Paul Pierce that eventually was not counted, in my opinion was good, but also gave the Celtics motivation to make that stop on defense. Next, Paul Pierce got fouled in the corner and made 1 of his two free throws giving the C's a 2 two point lead. Then, the Celtics made another big defensive stop, lead by Pietrus in the corner, and the Knicks prayer three at the buzzer would not go.
Now, let's skip right to the last possession for the Knicks. They were only down by two and resorted for a three in the corner. How did this happen? It's called good defensie pressure from the green team. Melo had his isolation but could not get a shot off. They were then forced to swing the ball around to a desperation three. The miss was tapped around and eventually swatted away to the other side of the court by KG to expire the time off the clock and secure the win. The Celtics are now 12-10 on the season.
