After having their 19-game winning streak interrupted by a dismal 2-7 stint, The Celtics have simply kept it movin and started another streak of 10 games and counting. Think about this: despite the bumps in the road in late December/early January, the Celtics still have the best record in The League, at 39-9. That's pretty damn good. Boston went to Detroit Friday night and got the W, winning 86-78. The Green Machine got 22 and 20 from Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, respectively. KG outscored the entire Piston's starting frontcourt - Tayshaun Price, Amir Johnson, and Rasheed Wallace - which finished with 18 points combined, on 7-31 from the field. Rajon Rondo had 12 dimes for the Celtics, who had 25 assists on 31 baskets.
The game nearly turned into "Melee at The Palace" Part 2. With just under 6 minutes to in the fourth quarter, a Kendrick Perkins flagrant foul on Jason Maxiell got both teams riled up. As Maxiell went up for a lineup, Perkins' wrapped his arm around Maxiell's neck, forcing him to the ground. Maxiell, who was T'd up, got up and shoved Perkins, who was ejected after being assessed a Flagrant 2.
