BOS 115PHX 103
There was a lot to like about this game, including an unexpected final .8 seconds.
KG clearly had a chip on his shoulder, looking to humiliate Channing Frye every opportunity he got. He had his best offensive game of the year, finishing with 28, without scoring at all in the fourth.
Through the first 3 quarters of the game the ball movement was impressive. It was crisp and smooth, the ball hardly touched the ground, until it found the best shot available. They were aggressive taking the ball to the hole. Rondo was the orchestrator as usual, finishing with 15 assists.
Liked what I saw from the newbies. Jeff Green looked the most comfortable I've seen him in green. Krstic showed some good touch on that jumper. It was just good to see Dropkick Murphy in uniform. Didn't expect to much outta him.
But the real highlight of this game was how chippy it was. Steve Nash picked up an uncharacteristic technical, clearly launching the F-bomb a few more times than was necessary. P twice got hit with a tech as well for staring down Frye after dunking on him along with his ancestors. Alvin Gentry tried to be a tough guy by calling a bunch of unneeded timeouts when the game was way out of sight, which Doc wasn't too pleased about. Apparently neither was Rondo. I loved that stunt he pulled at the end of the game. First of all he flashed back to his HS QB days when he threw that post route to Jeff Green, and then he followed his pass in a full sprint, and threw up a three with .8 left on the clock, and got hacked by Jared Dudley. I absolutely loved it. This is why every team out there hates us, and I LOVE THAT. L.O.V.E. That was like some shenanigans I would have pulled in my prime.
