Owner Real Deal Posted November 16, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 BOSTON -- The Boston Celtics like to have a lot of veterans for this very reason. With point guard Rajon Rondo on the bench after injuring his right ankle, Leandro Barbosa sparked a third-quarter run and ran the offense in the fourth as the Celtics held off the Utah Jazz 98-93 on Wednesday night. "That's what we brought him in here for," said Boston captain Paul Pierce, who led the way with 23 points, including a pair of key free throws with 19.5 seconds to play. Reserves Jeff Green and Barbosa each scored 16 points for the Celtics, who won for the fifth time in six games. Kevin Garnett added 11 points and eight rebounds. "That shows we are deep and we can have guys that can step up," backup center Chris Wilcox said. "Tonight we had it down the stretch." Rondo left the game for good in the third quarter with the ankle injury after getting 10 assists -- reaching double-digits for the 32nd straight game. With Rondo sitting on the bench for the final quarter, Green and Barbosa each played the entire 12 minutes, with Green scoring seven points.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20121114_UTA@BOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
