Bobcats-Celtics Preview

By JUSTIN EINHORN

It seems very unlikely Doc Rivers will keep Paul Pierce or any of his top players out of this matchup with the Charlotte Bobcats considering how his Boston Celtics fared against them earlier this week.

A blowout by the lowly Bobcats was the result as Pierce was given a night off, leaving the Celtics in position to lose this season series for the first time if they don't extend their 10-game home winning streak Saturday night.

Those lengthy runs ending doesn't appear likely given the fact Charlotte's only two victories in its last 18 road games both came in Orlando, the team closest to the Bobcats (14-51) for the league's worst record. They've lost their last six road games by an average of 22.6 points.

However, they had dropped 10 straight overall before hosting Boston (35-29) on Tuesday, when Rivers decided to rest Pierce. Charlotte then rolled to a 100-74 victory as Gerald Henderson's career-high 35 points highlighted the Bobcats' most lopsided win in three years.

"That just wasn't our team. I was looking around, wondering where I was at," Pierce said after the loss. "That wasn't a team I recognized."

One reason Rivers sat the 35-year-old Pierce was the Celtics having to play the next day. For this matchup, Charlotte will be taking the court for a second straight night following Friday's 92-78 loss at Toronto.

The Bobcats haven't won this season series since entering the league in 2004 - they lead the current one 2-1 - and are looking to win three straight over the Celtics for the first time. However, they're 3-12 in Boston, including a 100-89 defeat Jan. 14.

Rajon Rondo had 17 points and 12 assists in that meeting but has missed the last two, including a 94-91 loss Feb. 11. The Bobcats won't mind if Pierce also sits out.

"Hopefully he rests when we play them again on Saturday," Ben Gordon said Tuesday when asked if Rivers sitting Pierce was a slap in the face. "Tell him to go get more rest."

That seems unlikely with the Celtics off since Wednesday when Pierce and Kevin Garnett played less than 24 minutes apiece, having both climbed the career scoring list in a 112-88 rout of Toronto. As Garnett had 12 points to reach 25,201 and pass Jerry West for 15th all-time, Pierce scored 15 to get to 23,763 and pass Charles Barkley for No. 20.

"The joke around here is that every two days or something we're making history," said the 36-year-old Garnett, now 78 points behind Reggie Miller for 14th place. "It's not a bad joke to be a part of."

Rivers had a joke of his own when describing the play of Jeff Green, averaging 15.2 points since the All-Star break after scoring 10.3 per game before it. Green had 20 points Wednesday after combining for 22 on 6-of-22 shooting in the previous two games.

"He has these big games sometimes and okay games... He wants to be the McDonald's," Rivers said. "You know what you're getting every time. Same quality. Every single time. Fries are always good."

Rivers' team, which hosts league-best Miami on Monday, is riding its longest single-season home winning streak since a 13-game run in 2008-09.

Boston will look to slow Henderson, who had a team-high 22 points Friday. Kemba Walker added 20 but shot 5 for 17 and is at 32.5 percent in March.

Charlotte is shooting 38.8 percent this month.

Pierce has 14 in 3 quarters, Celtics beat Bobcats

Posted Mar 16 2013 11:31PM

BOSTON (AP) The Boston Celtics finally found a way to beat the team with the NBA's worst record.

Actually, it was several ways as the Celtics avenged an embarrassing loss earlier in the week at Charlotte by routing the Bobcats 105-88 on Saturday night.

Paul Pierce had 14 points, eight assists and six rebounds before sitting out the entire fourth quarter, cheering on his teammates from the bench as they beat the Bobcats for the first time in three tries this season.

"It wasn't a sense that we owed them one. It was a sense that we need to play better against them and we need to keep playing well at home," said Pierce, who also had three blocks. "It's about us playing well and playing the right way."

All five Boston starters scored in double figures and all 11 players who dressed for the Celtics scored at least five points. The only player in the official lineup that didn't score was Kevin Garnett, who sat out to rest a strained muscle in his left thigh.

Even without Garnett, the Celtics played nothing like the team that was humbled by lowly Charlotte twice this season. Two of the Bobcats' NBA-low 14 wins came against the Celtics, including a 100-74 blowout in Charlotte on Tuesday. Pierce rested that game and the team captain was quite critical of how the Celtics played.

The message apparently registered.

"They whooped us back at their place, so we wanted to come out, be aggressive and send the message," said Jeff Green, who started for Garnett and finished with 10 points.

Avery Bradley scored 13, Courtney Lee had 12 points and five assists, and Brandon Bass scored 10 for Boston. Jason Terry led Boston's reserves with 15 points and Shavlik Randolph, signed earlier in the week to his second 10-day contract, had six points and a team-high eight rebounds.

Jannero Pargo led Charlotte with 18 points. Gerald Henderson had 16 points, Kemba Walker scored 14 and Josh McRoberts pulled down 10 rebounds for the Bobcats, who lost for the 12th time in 13 games.

The Celtics made 10 of 15 3-pointers, outrebounded the Bobcats 42-35 and outscored Charlotte 38-30 in the paint.

"I thought defensively it was pretty disappointing," Charlotte coach Mike Dunlap said. "I think we're a better defensive team. We proved that the last time we played them."

Charlotte's only win during the recent slump was Tuesday against the Celtics, when Pierce rested. Pierce rested again Saturday, but only after 23 minutes of guiding the Celtics to their 11th straight win at home.

The Celtics are home again Monday for a showdown with the streaking Miami Heat.

"We just feel like this is a building we should never lose in," Pierce said. "Teams coming to the Garden, they've got to know that this is going to be their toughest game of the year. That's the feeling and the swagger that we're bringing."

Boston closed the second quarter on an 8-2 run and led 50-43 at halftime, then continued pulling away throughout the third quarter while shooting 65 percent (11 for 17).

The Celtics opened the period 7 for 9 and scored eight straight during a 12-2 run that put Boston up 70-55 on a 3-pointer by Lee. Pierce added a 3-pointer with 3:24 left, then headed to the bench with the Celtics up 75-57.

"We gave up the rim and they were able to get out in transition and also hit their 3s," Henderson said. "We settled for a lot of jump shots and we didn't get to the rim like we want to."

Boston led 83-66 after three and let the reserves open the fourth. Chris Wilcox dunked on an alley-oop and Randolph drove the baseline for a dunk, capping a 9-0 run to start the period and putting Boston ahead 92-88.

Charlotte fell behind 26-24 on Wilcox's dunk 16 seconds into the second quarter and trailed the rest of the way.

Notes: Both teams had nearly identical lines at the end of the first quarter - shooting 10 for 19, making 2 of 4 3-pointers and 2-of-2 foul shots in the 24-all tie. The Celtics had an 11-5 rebounding advantage. ... The TD Garden crew had a quick turnaround, converting the arena in time for the game to start about 3 hours, 45 minutes after the Boston Bruins beat the Washington Capitals 4-1 earlier Saturday. ... Garnett has played 63 of the team's 65 games this season, only missing a win in Phoenix when he was rested after attending the All-Star game. ... Charlotte is 6-28 on the road. ... The Bobcats have never won a season series against the Celtics. ... A photographer was knocked woozy when Charlotte's Bismack Biyombo ran into him on the baseline late in the fourth quarter.

Notebook: Celtics 105, Bobcats 88

THE FACTS: Paul Pierce had 14 points, six rebounds, and eight assists, as the Boston Celtics pulled away from the Charlotte Bobcats after halftime to cruise to a 105-88 win Saturday. Jason Terry added a team-high 15 points for the shorthanded Celtics (36-290, who played without Kevin Garnett (adductor) for just the second time all season. The hosts overcame Garnett's absence to earn their 11th straight win at the TD Garden and avenge a blowout loss to the lowly Bobcats (14-52) on Tuesday. Jannero Pargo had a game-high 18 points off the bench for the Charlotte in the defeat.

QUOTABLE: "They whooped us back at their place, so we wanted to come out, be aggressive and send a message"

--Jeff Green on the Celtics responding after losing to Charlotte by 26 on Tuesday

THE STAT: The Celtics shot 64.7 percent in the third quarter (11-for-17), including hitting all four shots from 3-point range. The outburst allowed them to outscore Charlotte 33-22 in the frame.

TURNING POINT: Boston's reserves kicked off the start of the fourth quarter with a 9-0 run, which gave the Celtics a 26-point lead just two minutes into the period. The hot start effectively put the game out of reach.

QUOTABLE II: "He has a calm disposition. He doesn't get too high or too low. And that's been his career. He's just a salty-dog warrior."

--Mike Dunlap on Pierce

HOT: Terry -- Boston's sixth man was perfect from the field in the second half, hitting all four of his field goal attempts, including two from beyond the arc for 12 points.

NOT: Ben Gordon -- The shooting guard could not find his rhythm off the Bobcats bench, missing 7 of his 11 shots on the night. It was the seventh consecutive game Gordon shot 40 percent or less from the field.

GOOD MOVE: Boston coach Doc Rivers elected to give Shavlik Randolph some extended minutes off the bench in the frontcourt and the move paid immediate dividends. Randolph finished with a team-high eight rebounds in just 15 minutes of action.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Courtney Lee -- The first-year Celtic is beginning to hit his stride in the month of March, and did a little bit of everything Saturday night for the hosts. Lee went 5-for-7 from the field, while adding five rebounds, four assists and a career-high three blocks in 32 minutes.

QUOTABLE III: "I thought we played great. The defense was really good, cut off a lot of dribble penetration. I thought we did just a terrific job on the boards. They crushed us there. So the three areas we were concerned with were transition, I thought we did well, dribble penetration, and rebounding."

-- Doc Rivers

ROOKIE WATCH: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist -- It was another underwhelming performance for the third overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. Kidd-Gilchrist scored six points and grabbed a pair of rebounds in 24 minutes.

NOTABLE: Rivers was uncertain whether Garnett would be able to play against the Heat in the Celtics' next game Monday night. The team announced Garnett had a adductor strain in his left leg and is day-to-day. "If he's healthy, he'll play. If he's not he won't," Rivers said after the game. ... The Celtics and Bobcats split the season series at 2-2. ... Charlotte has lost seven consecutive road games. All 11 active players on the Celtics scored five or more points.

UP NEXT: For Charlotte, Monday vs. Washington, Wednesday vs. Toronto, Friday vs. Detroit. For Boston, Monday vs. Miami, Wednesday @ New Orleans, Friday @ Dallas.
