Rondo shines: Celts win big in Phoenix, Denver

Although I was unable to watch the game on Sunday, and it has been a few days since, the Celtics bull-whipped the Suns, beating them 128-108, with Rajon Rondo dropping a career-high 32 points in just under 40 minutes of playing time. Along side Ray Allens 31, and Pierces 26, the Celtics cruised past Shaq and Steve Nash, who was constantly outplayed and dogged by Rondo's increasing quickness and ability to step up and in certain situations outshine some of the biggest names in the NBA. Aside from his 32 points, Rondo was 13 of 18 from the field with 1 3 pointer, and went 5 for 9 from the line. He also pulled in 10 assists and 6 rebounds. Glen Davis was the second most noticeable youngster with 10 points and 3 rebounds off the bench. 

Also, on Monday the C's squared up against Denver, winning 114-76. Rondo put up 14, with 8 assists and rebounds in a little over 30 minutes. Leon Powe put up 16 points of his own, pulling down 5 rebounds. Glen Davis had 8 points and 5 rebounds, and the rest of the freshmen/sophomores all got on the board with Gabe Pruitt getting 5, and JR Giddens and Bill Walker putting down 4 points each. In all, yet another solid win by the team and a quality contribution from the young bench.
