January 2008
- Davis Leads Celtics to Win Over Pistons
  
  newser | Associated Press | Jan 5, 08 10:59 PM CST
  
  Boston's Big Three had an off night tonight, but Glen Davis made sure it didn't matter. Davis scored 20 points against a tough Detroit defense to lead the Celtics to a 92-85 win over the host Pistons, the AP reports. The two best teams in the NBA's Eastern Conference were both riding eight-game win streaks. More »

  newser | Associated Press | Jan 5, 08 6:29 AM CST
  
  Boston got 20 points from Allen—only it was Tony not Ray—in a 100-96 win over the hapless Grizzlies last night. Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce had 23 points apiece while Ray Allen barely got on the scoresheet, sinking two free throws inside of 10 seconds remaining. Juan Carlos Navarro led Memphis with 20 points. Elsewhere in hoops: More »
- Is the NBA Nearing a Tipping Point?
  
  newser | ESPN | Jan 3, 08 10:00 AM CST
  
  The team model that has won the San Antonio Spurs four championships in nine years—a focus on chemistry, strong character, and salary cap flexibility—is starting to crop up elsewhere in the NBA, ESPN columnist Bill Simmons thinks. He's coined a word for it "chemacterility." It means eschewing bad guys—even the talented ones—and bad contracts, and it's now being tried out from Boston to Portland. More »
- KG Carries Celts Past Rockets
  
  newser | Houston Chronicle | Jan 3, 08 3:17 AM CST
  
  After Houston had converted a 20-point hole into a three-point advantage, and with Boston's two centers fouled out of the game, Kevin Garnett willed his team back out of the red. The rangy power forward had 11 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter, where he also helped to smother a previously indefensible Yao Ming. More »
- Lakers Odom Suspended For One Game
  
  newser | Los Angeles Times | Jan 2, 08 3:00 AM CST
  
  Lamar Odom's flagrant foul on Boston's Ray Allen Sunday cost the forward $120,441 and the Los Angeles Lakers one of their starting players for one game, reports the Los Angeles Times . Odom fouled Allen with 2:57 left in the Lakers 110-91 loss. "I don't know what Odom was thinking," Allen said. "I got the rebound and he tackled me." More »

- Lakers Short of the Mark
  
  newser | Los Angeles Times | Dec 31, 07 3:19 AM CST
  
  Throwback short shorts and jerseys did not provide enough mojo last night for LA to overcome the Celtics, whose Big Three dominated proceedings in a 110-91 beating, the Los Angeles Times reports. Boston's Paul Pierce had a game high 33 points, leading the Celtics to a season sweep of their western rivals, and snapping a five game Laker winning streak. More »
- Celtics Trounce Kings
  
  newser | Associated Press | Dec 27, 07 2:55 AM CST
  
  Despite allowing a breakout second quarter lead to slip away with an offensively lackluster third, Boston roared back in the fourth, crushing Sacramento 89-69 last night, AP reports. Ray Allen led the big three with 17 points, and Paul Pierce had 16, 14 of which came in the second. The victory marks Boston's 12th in their last 13 games. More »
- Orlando Falls to Big... Four?
  
  newser | Orlando Sentinel | Dec 23, 07 9:58 PM CST
  
  Boston avenged one of its season's three losses with a home drubbing of swooning Orlando, 103-91. The surprise was the offense provided by second-year point guard Rajon Rondo, who hit a rare pair of treys en route to 23 points, tying his career high. He was one of four Celts to top twenty points. More »
- Celtics Bounce Back Quickly Behind Pierce
  
  newser | Associated Press | Dec 21, 07 10:33 PM CST
  
  It didn't take long for the Boston Celtics to get back in the win column. Paul Pierce scored 15 of his 22 points in the third quarter to lead Boston past the Chicago Bulls 107-82 Friday, AP reports. The Celtics, an NBA best 21-3, lost their first home game Wednesday in the closing seconds to Detroit. More »
- Celts Perfect at Home No More
  
  newser | Associated Press | Dec 20, 07 4:11 AM CST
  
  Boston may still have the NBA's best record, but an unintimidated Detroit team served notice that they're not conceding the East just yet. The Celts dropped their first game at home, 87-85, in heart-stopping fashion; they choked away a third-quarter lead, then stormed back to tie it with 20 seconds left. More »
- Celtics' D Dominates Raptors
  
  newser | Boston Herald | Dec 17, 07 3:04 AM CST
  
  The Boston Celtics are on their best streak in 14 years after winning their ninth straight, 90-77, against the Raptors. And Boston isn't just riding the offensive power of the Big Three: playing without Ray Allen last night, the team held Toronto to season lows in points, baskets, and assists, reports the Boston Herald.

- A Perfect 12 at Home for Boston
  
  newser | Associated Press | Dec 14, 07 11:31 PM CST
  
  The last time the Celtics started this hot at home, they went to the NBA Finals in 1985. Boston hopes to continue that trend after improving to 12-0 at the "new" Garden with a 22 point win over Milwaukee, reports the AP. Paul Pierce had 32 points to help overcome the absence of the injured Ray Allen. Elsewhere in hoops: More »
- Big Night for Boston's Big Baby
  
  newser | Associated Press | Dec 13, 07 1:21 AM CST
  
  With Boston center Kendrick Perkins sidelined by a freak bedroom accident, rookie Glen "Big Baby" Davis made the most of his first career start, helping the Celtics protect a perfect home record against the Kings. Davis had 16 points and 9 rebounds, statistically outperforming his frontcourt mate, Kevin Garnett. Sacramento, still winless on the road, had led at halftime. More »
- Celtics Win No. 17 as Bulls Come Up Short
  
  newser | Boston Globe | Dec 9, 07 5:45 AM CST
  
  With a 92-81 road victory in Chicago, the Boston Celtics improved to 17-2 on the season and stretched their current streak to six games. Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo led the team with 21 and 18 points each; the Bulls' high scorer was sixth-man Andres Nocioni with 18, the Boston Globe reports. In less inevitable NBA action: More »
- Raptors No Match For Celts' Juggernaut
  
  newser | Globe and Mail | Dec 7, 07 11:23 PM CST
  
  The franchise with 16 NBA championships got its 16th win in 18 games tonight, blowing out Toronto 112-84, reports the Globe and Mail . Boston improved to 10-0 at home and dominated the shorthanded Raptors throughout, shooting 53% and getting the usual solid performance from Kevin Garnett with 23 points. The injured Chris Bosh was out again for Toronto. Also tonight: More »
- Sharpshooting Boston Backups Sink Sixers
  
  newser | Philadelphia Inquirer | Dec 5, 07 11:13 PM CST
  
  Ed Stefanski, the newly appointed GM and president of the 76ers, could only look on helplessly as his team managed to lose despite shooting a scorching 56%. James Posey and Eddie House, two newly arrived Celtics backups for this season, contributed 17 and 15 respectively—Posey's in part on 4-6 three-point shooting. Also in the Eastern Conference: More »
- LeBron Sits, Celtics Clamp Down on Cavs
  
  newser | Associated Press | Dec 2, 07 7:15 PM CST
  
  The Boston Celtics tightened down their defense and avenged a loss five days earlier with an 80-70 victory against Cleveland today, reports the AP. Of course, it didn't hurt that the Cavs' LeBron James missed his second straight game. Ray Allen led Boston (14-2) with 20 points while the other Big Three players had subpar games. Elsewhere on the hardwood: More »
- Sizzling Celtics Scorch Miami
  
  newser | Associated Press | Dec 1, 07 12:25 AM CST
  
  Tonight the Celtics had to work for it - sort of. Boston improved to a league-best 13-2 with a 95-85 win over the turnover-plagued Heat, getting a combined 67 points from its star trio of Garnett, Allen and Pierce, reports the AP. Dwyane Wade had only 10 points as the Heat heard boos from the unhappy home crowd. Elsewhere in the NBA tonight: More »

- Knicks Lose Big, Really Big
  
  newser | Boston Herald | Nov 30, 07 12:24 AM CST
  
  Had Boston's big three played for more than 20-odd minutes apiece last night, things could have gotten really out of hand. As it was, the Celtics knocked off New York by a mere 45 points, winning 104-59, the Boston Herald reports. Ray Allen and Paul Pierce had 21 points each, and Kevin Garnett had 8 in 22 minutes of play. The dismal tally marks the Knicks' third-worst loss of the shot-clock era, and second-worse point total.

- LeBron, Cavs Hand C's 2nd Loss
  
  newser | Associated Press | Nov 27, 07 10:39 PM CST
  
  LeBron James continued to play otherworldly basketball as he scored 38 points to lead Cleveland to a 109-104 overtime victory over the previously one-loss Celtics. James dished 13 assists on the night, and scored 11 points in the extra period. Ray Allen could have given the Celtics the lead with 22 seconds left in regulation, but uncharacteristically missed two free throws, reports the AP. More »
