Back-To-Back Attack

Finally, the Celtics have won consecutive games this season--the last team in the NBA to do so. Just what the doctor ordered—-Doc Rivers, that is. The Coach has been pilloried in the press and rumored to be on the firing line--literally.

Captain Paul Pierce had 30 points, Ricky Davis 20, and Delonte West added 15 as the Celtics pummeled the Utah Jazz, 101-89.


Despite going 0-10 from the 3-point arc, the Celtics did other things right--like committing only 2 turnovers in the second half and scoring 29 points off Jazz turnovers.
