Celtics Enjoy Playing the Spoilers…

by Eric on March 30, 2007

The Celtics fought hard with Orlando, forcing a double overtime game on Wednesday night.  Despite Orlando’s best efforts, Paul Pierce, Delonte West and the Boston Celtics emerged victorious — causing ripples throughout the Atlantic Division.

The Celtics defeated the Magic 105-96 on the floor of the TD BankNorth Garden.  Paul Pierce led the team with his 32 points, but Delonte West added in 17 points, three rebounds, three assists and a couple of steals.

Tonight — the Celtics are on the road and facing off against the Philadelphia 76ers.  While Philly is out of the playoff picture like the Celtics are, the Celtics certainly have a much brighter (and more immediate) future in place.

Tonight’s game will tip off at 7:00PM ET with television coverage available on Fox Sports New England.  Tune in and check out Delonte West squaring off against Willie Green.  West should have a speed advantage to rely on tonight as both he and Green are the same height — but West is some 20 pounds lighter.
