Bobcats-Celtics Preview

By TAYLOR BECHTOLD
Posted Jan 13 2013 2:47PM

Following a season-worst four-game losing streak, the Boston Celtics are hoping to respond with their best stretch in more than two years.

The Celtics appear to have a strong chance to make that happen on Monday night when they host a Charlotte Bobcats team looking to snap another losing streak.

After losing eight of its previous 10 games, Boston (19-17) bounced back to win five straight by an average of 10.6 points. Four have come against teams with above-.500 records, including the Celtics' 103-91 victory over visiting Houston on Friday night.

With a win over the lowly Bobcats, Boston will have its longest winning streak since reeling off 14 straight victories from Nov. 22 - Dec. 22, 2010.

"I feel good. I feel like we are building," said Paul Pierce, who had a team-high 23 points against the Rockets. "We're getting better and better."

Pierce and Kevin Garnett combined for 60 points while shooting 20 for 40 from the floor in Boston's 102-95 win at Charlotte last March.

While Brandon Bass has averaged just 6.0 points in five games since returning to the starting lineup, he could be a factor against the Bobcats. The forward has scored 17.3 points per game in his last four in the series, including 22 with Garnett and Pierce out in a 94-82 win in the most recent meeting last April.

The Celtics have received a boost from their reserves, who have outscored their opponents' counterparts 67-41 in their last two games.

Center Jared Sullinger has keyed the effort with 26 points on 13-of-18 (72.2 percent) shooting and 27 rebounds in his last two.

After shooting just 25.0 percent (12 for 48) from beyond the arc in their previous three games, the Celtics made 9 of 23 (39.1 percent) against the Rockets.

They should be able to maintain their outside touch against the Bobcats, who have allowed their last three opponents to make at least 10 3-pointers while shooting 42.9 percent (33 for 77) from that distance.

"Everybody's not satisfied, but happy around here," Garnett said. "We've been working really hard to get to this point."

Boston will try not to look past Charlotte (9-27), which has dropped three consecutive contests and 22 of 24 by an average of 11.0 points. The Bobcats have also lost 9 of 11 in the series, with the Celtics winning all three meetings last season.

After winning two road games in a row following an 18-game losing streak, Charlotte dropped its second straight road contest in a 96-88 loss at Indiana on Saturday. Ben Gordon has been a bright spot for the Bobcats, averaging 19.6 points on 52.6 percent shooting this month after scoring a team-high 21 against the Pacers.

Gerald Henderson looks to continue his recent success against the Celtics. The starting guard has scored 43 points while shooting 19 for 33 (57.8 percent) from the field in the last two meetings.

Kemba Walker, however, has totaled just 15 on 3-of-17 shooting in his last two in the series.

Charlotte will take any offensive spark it can get after averaging 83.0 points on 41.8 percent shooting in its last two.

It doesn't figure to get any easier against a Boston team that has limited opponents to 84.4 points per game and 39.2 percent shooting during its win streak.

Celtics cruise to 100-89 win over Bobcats

BOSTON (AP) It wasn't too long ago that Rajon Rondo was one of the NBA's up-and-coming ball-handlers, trying to show he belonged with veterans like Chris Paul, Jason Kidd and Steve Nash.

Now the Celtics point guard is trying to prove to the youngsters that he can still play.

"I'm getting a little bit older and the younger guys are coming in, and I may have a mark on my back being an older guy, having made a couple of All-Star (games)," Rondo said after recording his third triple-double of the season on Monday night in a 100-89 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats. "I have a target on my back every night so I just want to go out and do what I do best: run the show and make some shots."

Rondo scored 17 points with 12 assists and 10 rebounds - his 26th career triple-double, including playoffs. Motivated by facing 22-year-old Charlotte point guard Kemba Walker, Rondo had a hand in the Celtics' first 19 points as they opened a double-digit lead early in the first quarter and coasted to their sixth consecutive victory.

"It's not fun losing. Since we've been winning the locker room is a little bit more relaxed, guys aren't as tense," he said. "We lost a couple of games and we never got down. When we play, we play loose. We have smiles on the court. ... It's nice to see that swagger on the court again since we've been winning."

Paul Pierce scored 19 and Avery Bradley added 16 for Boston. Kevin Garnett, who needed 13 points to tie Patrick Ewing for 16th on the NBA's career scoring list, was 2 for 11 from the field and scored just seven points to go with his 10 rebounds.

Hakim Warrick and Ramon Sessions had 16 points apiece and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist scored 10 with eight rebounds for the Bobcats, who lost their third straight and their 23rd in the last 25 games since opening the season 7-5.

Coach Mike Dunlap said the team had no choice but to keep trying.

"You can't lay down. Nobody's going to feel sorry for you," he said. "You have to come every night and compete and hope for the best."

The Celtics scored 13 of the game's first 15 points and never trailed. Rondo had five assists and seven points in the opening 6:17.

Boston led by as many as 18 in the second quarter before the Bobcats went on a 9-1 run, getting seven points from Kidd-Gilchrist. Charlotte scored 13 of the first 15 points in the second half to tie it on Warrick's steal that set up a dunk by Kidd-Gilchrist.

"Every coach I talk to about (the Bobcats) says the same thing: `They just keep playing,"' Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "It's hard to do but it's nice to see."

But the Celtics scored the next seven points, getting a pair of free throws from Garnett and, after Rondo blocked Bismack Biyombo's shot, Jared Sullinger made a hook shot. Brandon Bass stole an errant pass by Walker and Bradley hit a 3-pointer to make it 65-58.

The Bobcats never got within one possession again.

NOTES: Celtics F Chris Wilcox, who is out with a sprained right thumb, did a video chat before the game with fans in Afghanistan. ... The Celtics won all three meetings between the teams last year. ... Walker scored 12 points. He has reached double figures in scoring in 34 of 37 games.

Notebook: Celtics 100, Bobcats 89

THE FACTS: Rajon Rondo had his 26th career triple-double, paving the way for the Boston Celtics in a 100-89 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats Monday night at the TD Garden. The win was Boston's sixth consecutive victory overall, a season-high for the team. It was the third triple-double of the season for Rondo, who finished with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists in the standout performance for the Celtics (20-17). Paul Pierce added a game-high 19 points for the hosts, who have also now won four consecutive games at the TD Garden. Ramon Sessions tied a team-high with 16 points for the Bobcats (9-28), who have now dropped four straight games and a woeful 21 of their past 23, overall.

QUOTABLE: "I may have a mark on my back. Younger guys are coming in, giving me their best shot. I just come in and try to do what I do best -- run the show."

-- Rajon Rondo

THE STAT: The Celtics improved to 23-3 overall when Rondo finishes a game with a triple-double.

TURNING POINT: After Charlotte closed an 11-point deficit to four with 8:52 remaining the fourth quarter, Boston responded with a resounding 9-0 run of their own to retake control of the game.

QUOTABLE II: "I just thought our team early on played with great energy and heart. That's how we want to play; we want to get stops, we want to run."

-- Celtics coach Doc Rivers

HOT: Jared Sullinger -- Boston's biggest weapon on the bench continued his hot shooting against the Bobcats, hitting all four of his shot attempts over 22 minutes of action. The rookie forward has made a scorching 68.6 percent of his shots over his past five games.

NOT: Kevin Garnett -- The 17-year-veteran had one of the worst shooting nights of his hall-of-fame career, missing 9 of his 11 shots from the field. He finished with a lackluster seven points in 32 minutes, but did manage to grab 10 rebounds in the win.

QUOTABLE III: "I just liked our fight, our grit, not letting go of the game. We just couldn't get over the hump, offensively."

-- Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Hakim Warrick -- With Byron Mullens sidelined with an ankle injury, Charlotte's midseason acquisition continues to make the most of his opportunity in the starting lineup. The former Hornet tied a team-high with 16 points and filled up the rest of the box score with four rebounds, three assists and a pair of steals in 34 minutes.

ROOKIE WATCH: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist -- The second overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft fared well in his first head-to-head matchup with Pierce. The 19 year-old posted 10 points and eight rebounds, while helping to limit Boston's captain to 6-of-16 shooting on the night.

NOTABLE: Gerald Henderson made his second straight start at shooting guard. He was also assessed a flagrant foul in the second quarter for a hard foul against Garnett. ... Jeff Adrien, who played high school basketball in nearby Brookline, grabbed six rebounds in 10 minutes of action for the Bobcats. ... The Celtics' six-game winning streak is the team's longest since December 2010. ... The Bobcats started the game 1-for-12 from the field, and shot just 28 percent overall (7-for-25) in the first quarter. ...Chris Wilcox was on the active roster but did not play as he continues to recover from a sprained left thumb.

UP NEXT: For Charlotte, Tuesday vs. Indiana, Friday @ Orlando, Saturday vs. Sacramento. For Boston, Wednesday vs. New Orleans, Friday vs. Chicago, Sunday @ Detroit.
