As preseason games go, this was one intense game. The Celtics battled back from a 14-point 3rd quarter deficit and beat the Nets 91-88. Eddie House hit the go-ahead bucket with :30 seconds left. The Celtics then made two huge defensive plays; Glen Davis swatted Courtney Lee's shot out of bounds and then House drew a charge on Lee seconds later.Starting in place of Kevin Garnett (Paul Pierce and Ray Allen also sat this one out), Rasheed Wallace scored 20 points (8-17 FG, 3-7 3FG), grabbed 9 rebounds and tweaked his right ankle in 25 minutes of action. Wallace injured himself late in the 3rd quarter and did not return. Doc Rivers said the injury is mild and nothing serious.Despite another rough shooting night from both the floor and the (6-15) and the free throw line (6-14), Rajon Rondo played a strong 4th quarter and finished with 18 points, 13 assists and 9 rebounds in 40 minutes.J.R. Giddens played the best game of his career - 7 points, 13 rebounds in 32 minutes. He was extrem...

Rasheed Wallace Says Celtics Can Take Out Bulls’ 72-10 Record
Anyone remember last season when the Celtics ripped off 19 straight wins early on in the season, and were a ridiculous 27-2 by Dec. 23? Yeah, they finished 62-20 on the year, sans NBA title. But, I’ll admit: I was worried the Bulls’ 72-10 record was going to be bested by them as they kept [...]

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
