Celtics end with Rockets winning strike
There is no doubt, the Celtics are the official slayers of the big guys in the NBA, a couple of days ago they handed the Spurs their fourth loss in a row and yesterday, they finished with the Rockets outstanding winning mark of 22 games, the second longest in all of NBA history.
With 22 points from Kevin Garnett and 20 from Paul Pierce, the Celtics won 94-74, and outplayed Houston’s offensive with a real solid defense.
"It's a hell of a team over there. They outplayed us. I've never seen a defense like that. I mean, if they play defense like that, night in and night out, the NBA is in trouble because that was defense at its finest." Said Rockets All-Star Tracy McGrady, who had a rough night and got stopped every time he attempted to make it to the Celtics zone.
Maybe the Rockets have an impressive record, but they are still struggling with finding their way into the playoffs, and they still have one more record to protect, as they will visit the Hornets for their 13th straight road win.
It will be disappointing to see the Rockets going down before the real playoff action starts, it will be like what the hated New England Patriots did on the NFL, they did great they whole season and fell to a small time rival at the end.
