Celtics Pull Even

The Celtics pulled even with the Magic winning game two of the series in a convincing fashion. On the back of Rajon Rondo’s third triple double of the postseason, and Eddie House’s 31 points the Celtics Rolled to an easy 112-94 win over the Magic.

After getting blown out in the first three quarters of game one, the Celtics picked up right where they left off in game ones fourth showing the same toughness throughout game two. However, this time it wouldn’t be too little too late, but a steady stream of defense followed by a steady stream of points on the offensive end led to the easy victory.

House’s 31 points is a playoff carrier high for the shooter, and showed off exactly what he can do on a hot streak. With Pierce struggling and maybe a little worn down, House’s career night couldn’t have come at a better time.

Not only did House score 31 points, but he also did something that may help the team win this series letting Pierce rest much of the game. With Eddie’s success Doc Rivers was able to rest Pierce who at times just looked worn down.

The rest could end up being exactly what the Doctor ordered and look for him to come out angry and hungry in game three.
