Spurs fell to the Celtics at Boston
It’s not all the time that you have the choice to be one on one with one of your childhood idols, as it was the case of Glen Davis helding Tim Duncan in the game that the Celtics won 98-90 over the Spurs.
“It’s Tim Duncan, man. Tim Duncan, the league MVP, the NBA Finals MVP. It’s amazing. You’re out there talking to him.” Davis said.
And with Paul Pierce scoring 35 and Ray Allen adding 19, the Celtics are still holding a record of 16-0 against any team of the Western Conference while this also meant the third straight victory for Boston. On the Spurs, Duncan came out with 22 points, Manu Ginobili finished with 21 and Michael Finley helped with 19.
Kevin Garnett missed his seventh consecutive game and it is also out of the Eastern Conference line up for the All Star game coming this next weekend at New Orleans, he will be replaced by Pistons Rasheed Wallace.
Revenge might come on March 17th when both teams will meet again, but this time at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, and considering that the Celtics are better on the road this year (22-4) than the Spurs who are 12-12, this is a game that is on the talks already.
Well deserved victory for the Celtics who were also missing Kendrick Perkins, and a lesson for the Spurs, as they were able to take Boston down as they had a superior team on the court, but at the end, there is only one winner.
