92 Celtics, 91 Sixers

If I were the Sixers or one of their fans, I would feel very uncomfortable with how this series is going to be. On Saturday night they had a perfect opportunity to steal homecourt and game 1, but in typical Sixers fashion they found a way to blow it.

Kevin Garnett was a monster, 29 points on 12-20 shooting, 11 rebounds, and 3 blocks. This may have topped game 6 against the Hawks. KG has been incredible so far and just so good on both sides of the ball. In the 4th quarter he was all over the place, he was chasing down guys, he was hitting shots, just the best KG we may have ever seen in Boston.

Now to Rajon Rondo who had one of the best post game interviews of all time. I love how he's a dick and just owns David Aldridge right there. He finished the game with 13 points, 12 rebounds and 17 assists. He was just a beast in the 4th quarter. Of his 12 rebounds, 5 of them were offensive (to lead the team) nobody else had more than 2. Rajon absolutely killed the Sixers with his jumpers in the 4th quarter, but, his best play of the game won't show up in the offensive stat book it was his foul with 3 seconds on Jrue Holliday sending him to the line when the Celtics were up 3. For some reason Doug Collins didn't call a timeout, and Rajon had the IQ to foul Jrue as he was dribbling up the court.

The final play was also a work of art, Doc had Rajon catch a perfect pass from Paul Pierce in the back court and then run the clock out. Evan Turner just couldn't catch up to Rondo, end of game.

The Celtics didn't shoot to great tonight 2-18 from beyond the arc, but a win is a win.
