It wasn't pretty, but a win is a win. The Celtics came out of the gate strong, but sputtered the rest of the way. However, with Rajon Rondo leading the charge, the Celtics held on to win their 15th straight, 100-91 over the Jazz. Rondo led the C's with 25 points, to go along with 9 rebounds and 8 assists. Kendrick Perkins also came up large, with 15 points and 14 rebounds, while KG added 19 and 10.
