According to @eliassports, Celtics are 1st team in NBA history in an 18-game stretch to win 6 straight, lose 6 straight then win 6 straight.

KG has more career points than Larry Bird & Dirk, more rebs than Shaq, more assists than Walt Frazier & CP3, & more blocks than Moses Malone

Paul Pierce scores 24 points as the Celtics blow out the Lakers 116-95 in Boston. 

The #Celtics went 0-6 in the last six games Rajon Rondo played in. They are now 6-0 playing without Rondo.

Actually, tonight's game is a sign of Lakers improvement. I'll take 3 wins and a blowout loss over 3 losses and a blowout win any day

KG and Paul Pierce are loving this game. 

Celtics lead by 23. Both team have their bench players on the floor and it's getting a little sloppy out there. Timeout Lakers.

Fab Melo and Robert Sacre are on the floor at the same time. Cherish these moments.

Even in the awful mid-2000s Smush years, has there ever been a worse Lakers lineup than this garbage time group?

— Brian Mahoney (@briancmahoney) February 8, 2013

Fab Melo checks in for the Celtics. 

Kobe decided to play like the old Kobe tonight and that's killing the Lakers.

Dwight Howard fouls out with 5:07 to play - 28 minutes, 9 points (4-8 FG, 1-6 FT), 9 rebounds, 1 assist. #Lakers #Celtics

No matter how badly D'Antoni wants to keep Dwight Howard in, he can't: Dwight has just fouled out of the game.

Celts PLAY better without Rondo. Lakers PLAY better with Gasol and without Dwight Howard.

Jason Terry makes the steal and goes coast-to-coast for the layup. It's all Boston here.

Seriously? He left Dwight in the game after the timeout?

— John Schuhmann (@johnschuhmann) February 8, 2013

Kevin Garnett is the last guy Dwight Howard needed to return against. KG has totally messed with his head.

— J.A. Adande (@jadande) February 8, 2013

It's still all Boston, as they've almost scored 100 points with a little less than 9 minutes left in the game. Official timeout.

If Dwight has significant health issues, why is he out there in fourth quarter with his team down 26, with another game Friday in Charlotte?

— Ira Winderman (@IraHeatBeat) February 8, 2013

Huge third quarter for Boston. They've hit their last 14 of 16 shots.

That was a ridiculous sequence for the Celtics. Pierce could have heaved it the length of the court and it would have probably went in.
