Reaction from tonight’s Celtics victory over the somewhat injured Utah Jazz …
- The Celtics defense, who had shown some tiredness and was absolutely dusted by the Phoenix Suns last Friday … well, it has not fully healed yet. However, the 86 points allowed in 91 possessions is a good start. Most of the work came in the form of the Jazz going 0-10 from three point land while turning it over 21 times, thus wasting a pretty good offensive rebounding performance.
- Rasheed Wallace sure ain’t scared. 7 three point attempts tonight. That said, the defense and fit on the team continues to look as good as advertised.
- Good balance. Not only no 20 point scorers for the Celtics, but nobody took more than 12 shots. Good distribution (7 in double figures), which implies …
- RONDOOOOOOOOOO … 14 points, 11 assists … and total control. Yes, Deron Williams had some back issues from the game before apparently. However, still … Rondo showing his chops as a top 10 PG if not a top 5.
