The Boston Celtics opened up their third week of play tonight on the road facing the Chicago Bulls. The Celtics were looking for their second win in a row against the Bulls who are without their star and 2010-2011 League MVP, Derrick Rose. The team did just that in a nail bitter that saw Boston beat Chicago 101-95.
The Celtics opened the game with a starting lineup of Rajon Rondo, Jason Terry, Paul Pierce, Brandon Bass, and Kevin Garnett. The starters got off to their best start this year firing on all cylinders in the first half. In the first quarter alone the team scored 33 points coming primary from the Big 3. At the end of the first quarter Pierce and Rondo both had 8 points while KG produced 7. The bench also made a large contribution early starting of 5-6. Rajon Rondo had a huge first half going into the break with a stat line of 10pts, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.
