Celtics-Wizards Game (Round 3) Highlights
The game is played at Boston (ESPN, NBA TV).
The result marks as the only losing streak for the Celtics, so far. Their next game (Jan.16) against the Trail Blazers will not be easy either.
Celtics' offence continue to struggle, shooting an overall 0.419 FG (0.43 till half-time) and 0.250 in 3P. Rondo's absence, especially in 4th quarter (bad back/hamstring), has taken their offence away as well. They manages just 6 points in the final 6 plus minutes, 4 on free throws and the other 2 on a third-chance tip-in.
While Rondo sits, Tony Allen and Eddie House combine for 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and no turnover.
As Wizards coach Eddie Jordan offered, "A lot of teams miss a key piece and they have to adjust to win. You lose a 3-point shooter, you plug in another 3-point shooter. That's not a problem. But with Rondo, a pure, push-it type of point guard, they can't duplicate that. It's like a shock to the system when you lose someone key and don't have anyone to duplicate what he does."
Celtics' defence is still decent although not consistent, forcing Wizards to make only 0.386 FG, but failing to stop the opponent scoring off the glass in the last 2 plus minutes.
