"Kevin Garnett scored 11 of his 26 points in the last seven minutes on Wednesday night, adding nine rebounds to help the Boston Celtics beat the Houston Rockets 97-93 and earn their seventh consecutive victory.
Paul Pierce scored 19 points and assisted on four key baskets down the stretch as the Celtics improved to 27-3 to match the best 30-game start in the shot-clock era. Five other teams have lost just three of their first 30 games, including the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls who finished the season with an NBA-record 72 wins.
Yao Ming had 19 points and 13 rebounds for the Rockets, who were without Tracy McGrady for the fourth consecutive game because of a sore left knee. Both Scot Pollard and Kendrick Perkins fouled out trying to guard Yao before Garnett took on the job himself."
Ugly stretch in the 3rd quarter where we fell asleep but thank goodness for someone as thrilling as Garnett...
Pierce- [glow=red,2,300] 7/12FG 19PTS 7AST 6REB[/glow]

Pollard [glow=red,2,300]4/5FG 10PTS 5REB 6FOULS ;D[/glow] First mention ever on the list for Pollard!!
Ray Ray [glow=red,2,300]6/15FG 13PTS 2REB[/glow]
Rondo [glow=red,2,300]6/11FG 13PTS 9AST 5REB[/glow]
My Vote [glow=red,2,300]goes to Garnett[/glow] Pollard as a second choice just because he stepped up today but Garnett is just so intense that he pretty much lead us to the win and i'm surprised that this is gonna be his first CG Award!
