No Bull; Celtics' streak at 17

Who needs the Big Three when you have the Dynamic Duo? While Pierce, Garnett, and Allen combined for 60 points (Allen had 27 of those), it was the Perk/Rondo show at the Garden Friday night, as the Celtics won their 17th straight game, 126-108 over the Bulls. Perk scored a career high 25, shooting 12-15 from the floor, and R-squared had 15 assists and 4 steals for the World Champions. The Bulls actually kept this one close, trailing by only two at halftime. But, as seems to be the case most nights, the Celtics put the game on ice in the 3rd quarter, outscoring Chicago 41-27 in the frame.Game notes:? ?Paul Pierce passed Bill Russell into 6th place on the Celtics' all-time field goal attempt listThe 128 points scored by the Celtics was a season highThe Celtics totaled 40 assists and 14 steals on the nightBrian Scalabrine was a +10 on the nightRay Allen led all starters in minutes, with 33:06The Celtics can tie their franchise-best 18-game winning streak with a win against the Knicks on SundayClick here for the Box Score.
