The Celtics (50-18) return home after a tough loss in Chicago to take on the Heat (36-30) at the Garden. These two met just a week ago, with Miami prevailing 107-99 and tying up the season series at one win each. Boston will have a bit more help at their disposal than the 10 players they brought with them to Miami in that game...and they will need all the help they can get to slow down Dwayne Wade. The Heat's MVP candidate 32 points and 7 assists in their last meeting with Boston, which is nothing compared to the 50 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists he pasted on Utah last Saturday. Having back Rajon Rondo in the lineup this time will certainly help this time, but will it be enough? We'll find out tonight. Let' go Celtics!

Hopefully Leon is back for this one. With KG & Leon both out we cannot afford to lose another big man that's for sure.
celtics look good. up 36-25 and seem ready to blow them out. i like seeing bill walker getting some time
wow - ray allen out. Cs had a huge 1st quarter lead and now are down 1 in the 4th. Pierce and Luther Head double techs - Pierce was helping up Rondo after getting fouled HARD. Love PP!
Chalmers is really good. He and Rondo are a fun matchup
Mikki Moore fouled out.
We have no depth!
Heat up 3 with 4 mins left
PP misses a game winner - headed to OT
Leon is out 2 weeks
Celts blowing this open in OT up 8
HORRIBLE CALL ON BIG BABY
They called a block - so bad. Fouls out.
We are up 5 btw with Miami ball
Bill Walker checks in
Up 6 - Miami ball 1 minute left.
fun to see Bill Walker covering Beasley in crunch time
yikes. Beasley misses - Perk drops rebound out of bounds
Chalmers drains a 3 - up 3. wow. What a shot
House misses. Heat ball down 3...15 seconds left...what? Chalmers goes to the hole and misses - Perk clearly hits it out of bounds - but they call it our ball. weird. No reason that they didnt try to take a 3 there. Weird.
Celts going small. House fouled. House to ice the game here...just hit 1. Drains the first. Eddie chants! misses the 2nd. Time out Heat. zzzzzz
I know we are missing several players but I do not want to drop a game to the D.Wade-less Heat.
CELTICS WIN!!!! 112-108! Sweet.
3 STARS....
1.PIERCE
2.RONDO
3.HOUSE
Pierce & Rondo easily could be switched for 1 & 2 and Perk easily could have been 3.
Now hopefully KG returns on Friday as rumored!
Glen Davis was +27 tonight....13 better than anyone else (Pierce) from either team.
Bill Walker was -24.....13 worse than anyone else (Mikki Moore) on the Celtics.
Solid win. Much needed. Our defense was pretty bad - but our offense was solid. We need KG. period
Celts clinch the division with the win
Chalmers or Giddens? who had the better game?
that's all I'm gonna say...
