Rondo and Celtics down Toronto
Basketball Betting Lines
04/07/2010 -
Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rajon Rondo scored 21 points, dished out seven
assists, and pulled down five rebounds, as the Boston Celtics took down the
playoff-hopeful Toronto Raptors, 115-104.
Paul Pierce added 20 points for the Celtics, who had lost four of five coming
in and sit fourth in the Eastern Conference. Kevin Garnett donated 19 points,
while Ray Allen chipped in 18 points for the victors.
Sonny Weems finished with a career-high 21 points in place of an injured Chris
Bosh for the Raptors, who have lost three in a row and are now just a half-
game ahead of idle Chicago for eighth in the East.
Andrea Bargnani, Antoine Wright, and Jarrett Jack each had 17 points for
Toronto, which got 14 points from DeMar DeRozan. Forward Hedo Turkoglu had two
points before leaving late in the first quarter after bumping heads with
Boston's Tony Allen. Turkoglu sustained a nasal contusion and was taken to the
hospital for a CT scan.
The Celtics led 30-25 after the first quarter, but the Raptors used a surge in
the second to take a 54-52 edge into the locker room.
Boston started the third on an 8-2 spurt to go in front. Pierce's pair of free
throws made it 60-56. The remainder of the period was a tight battle that
ended with Boston taking an 82-76 margin into the final frame.
Ahead 86-80 with less than 10 minutes to play in the fourth, the Celtics went
on a 12-5 run to create some breathing room. Ray Allen scored the first six
points of the burst, which Michael Finley capped with a pair of three-pointers
to make it a 98-85 game with under seven minutes to go.
The Raptors never got closer than six the rest of the way.
Game Notes
Boston won all four meetings with the Raptors this year...The Celtics have won
eight straight, 12 of 13 and 21 of the last 27 matchups between the
teams...All-Star forward Bosh had successful surgery on Wednesday to repair a
displaced nasal fracture. There was no timetable given for his possible
return.
