Mavericks-Celtics Preview

Rajon Rondo hopes the camera won't catch him if he gets too emotional back on the parquet floor, though he already plans to raise his eyes and blink a lot to mask the tears.

In his first visit to Boston since last month's blockbuster trade, the All-Star point guard will try to help the Dallas Mavericks capture their fourth straight victory Friday night against the Celtics.

"It's like a family reunion," Rondo said. "I'm hoping not to be too emotional. I'll try not to cry a little bit, but I'm very excited to go back. Those fans are amazing."

Dallas (23-10) believed it had found a missing piece to its first championship run in four years Dec. 19 when it acquired Rondo and Dwight Powell for Brandan Wright, Jae Crowder, Jameer Nelson and two draft picks.

Rondo has since embraced the opportunity to chase another ring after leaving the rebuilding effort in Boston. The veteran won his first title in 2008 with the Celtics and developed into one of the league's top playmakers over his eight-plus seasons.

"I think (my role) is a little bit different now," he said. "Since I'm a veteran, I think I have a little bit more responsibility than I did in the past. This year is different. (But) the expectations are just as high."

Rondo ranks third in the league with 10.1 assists per game, but he's averaged 7.8 while taking on more of a scoring role since joining the Mavericks. He's scoring 13.2 per game in his past six after averaging almost five points fewer in 22 with Boston.

After losing two of three following the trade, the Mavericks concluded a sweep of their three-game homestand with Tuesday's 114-87 win over Washington. They matched a season low with seven turnovers while forcing 23.

Now they're set to visit Cleveland and Brooklyn on a three-game trip that opens against the Celtics (11-18).

"I believe I'm going to get a great reception," Rondo said. "I gave it my all every time I went on the floor and played as a Celtic. It was a great opportunity to play for one of the best organizations in sports history."

Dirk Nowitzki, who had 13 points Tuesday, scored 27 in a 118-113 home win over the Celtics on Nov. 3 for the Mavericks' eighth victory in nine meetings. Chandler Parsons had a team-high 29 with four 3s in that contest and he's scored a combined 40 while sinking 7 of 11 from beyond the arc in his last two overall.

Struggling to find Rondo's replacement, the Celtics dropped four in a row before Wednesday's 106-84 victory over visiting Sacramento. Evan Turner finished with 10 points and 11 assists after replacing Marcus Smart as the starting point guard.

"We're still searching," coach Brad Stevens said. "We've got to stop searching soon. I'm hopeful it'll be a good change."

Jeff Green and Avery Bradley had season highs in the first matchup with 35 and 32 points, respectively. Green, however, had six points while attempting only six shots Wednesday and Bradley has totaled 11 on 4-of-13 shooting in his last two.

The Celtics tightened things up defensively against the Kings, allowing a season-low point total and a 36.8 field-goal percentage. They had given up 105.0 per game on 49.7 percent shooting in their previous two.

Dallas should provide a difficult test after averaging 110.8 points with a 48.4 field-goal percentage in its last four games.

Rondo returns to Boston, helps Mavs win 119-101

BOSTON (AP) The Boston fans had never seen Rajon Rondo in an opponent's uniform before.

They'd never seen a game like this from him, either.

The former Celtics point guard scored a career-high 15 first-quarter points, finishing with a season-best 29 in his return to Boston to lead Dallas to a 119-101 victory Friday night. Rondo also had a career-high five 3-pointers and finished with six rebounds and five assists.

"Obviously, it was a special day," the four-time all-star said after his first game in the TD Garden since he was traded to Dallas last month. "I'm emotionally tired. I'm physically tired, and I'm drained."

Monta Ellis scored 22 points, Dirk Nowitzki added 17 and Tyson Chandler had 16 rebounds to help the Mavericks to their fourth consecutive victory. But the tone was set when Rondo scored Dallas' first 10 points, with the usually weak outside shooter hitting his first four 3-point attempts and his first seven shots in all.

"He obviously had his best game as a Maverick," coach Rick Carlisle said. "It's extremely difficult to come back in this situation and play the way that he did. ... He showed a lot of class with the way he played."

Avery Bradley scored 22 points for the Celtics, and Tyler Zeller had 17 points and 10 rebounds.

But the Mavericks opened a 14-point lead after one quarter thanks to Rondo and went on a 13-0 run to finish the third and make it a 28-point game. The Celtics cut the deficit to 10 points with about six minutes left before Rondo hit a jumper and soon added a steal and an assist to help make it 105-90 with 4:45 to play.

"He's a big-game player. He's amazing," Mavericks center Chandler said. "To come into a situation like this where you spent your entire career and had incredible success, I know it had to be very emotional. But he came incredibly locked in."

Rondo received a lengthy ovation when he was introduced in the pregame warmups, and then quickly went to work. He knocked the ball loose from Jared Sullinger on Boston's first possession, took a handoff from Chandler and went the length of the floor for a layup.

He followed that with a pair of 3-pointers and another layup before assisting on Nowitzki's jumper. Rondo went to the bench for four minutes and came back in to hit a runner and another 3-pointer at the end of the quarter to give Dallas a 31-17 lead.

In all, he went 12 for 19 from the floor, making 5 of 7 from 3-point range.

"I told everybody that asked - all of you, all of the time - that I believed in his shot-making," Celtics coach Brad Stevens said. "And he shot it really well tonight."

A video before the second period was a collection of Rondo's greatest passes, a few key shots and a couple of defensive moves as well. It ended with a shot of the `08 championship banner - the 17th in franchise history - and a picture of him hugging the golden trophy along with the caption, "Thank You Rajon!"

Both teams applauded as he walked onto the court to wave to the crowd.

RONDO REVISITED: Rondo's video showed him working in the community, but it also showed some of his more mischievous side, such as the time when he tried to listen in on the Miami Heat huddle during a timeout before LeBron James pushed him away.

PITCHING IN: Celtics first-round draft choice Marcus Smart had eight points and seven assists in 28 minutes off the bench. Everyone on the Celtics played except Gerald Wallace.

TIP-INS

Mavericks: Other than Rondo, the Mavs were 6-for-20 shooting in the first quarter. ... Rondo scored more than 15 points in a quarter three times with the Celtics, all of them the third quarter and all of them in the 2008-09 season.

Celtics: Jameer Nelson, Brandan Wright and Jae Crowder, who came from Dallas for Rondo, combined for 11 points.

UP NEXT

Mavericks: At Cleveland on Sunday.

Celtics: At Chicago on Saturday.
