Starting from this game and the next seven, Rondo is facing a bunch of marquee PGs. His first match-up is against Deron Williams. Using his size and strength, Williams pretty much get what he wants. 17 of his 32 points come from the FT line.

With Ray Allen leaving game in the first quarter with an ankle injury, Doc Rivers run out of option for long range as the Celtics are only making 3 of 15.
