The first unit started off slowly and fell behind by 10 points. No worries, the bench came in and took control of the game. First it was Glen Davis and Tony Allen (welcome back Tony!) mixing it up. Then Eddie House just started draining 'em.
- Rondo had a strong night, taking it to the rim relentlessly
- Some questionable officiating tonight - neither team was happy with the crew
- Eddie needs to be in the 3 point shooting contest. "Eddie, Eddie, Eddie"
- I gotta admit, down 10 in the first had me worried about a "trap" game. But Tommy had it right. They were just in a rhythm from playing back to back and we were a little bit cold after some rare days off.
- Once again, hats off to the bench. Look at the +/- numbers (after the jump)!
