Celtics Right the Ship!

            The Celtics finally right the ship as they beat the Indiana Pacers 103-94 to snap a 4-game losing streak.  In danger of losing 5 straight games and falling below .500,  the game the Celtics went on an amazing 12-0 run anchored by great defense over the final 1:47.   The Celtics turned to their defense down stretch with 3 steals in a row that turned into easy break away baskets by Amir, Crowder, and Smart.  
           The Celtics were led in scoring by Isaiah Thomas with 28 points and "Jaesus" Crowder matching his career high with 25 points.  However, the difference maker of the game was "Fear Amir" Johnson stuffing the stat sheet like a Thanksgiving turkey with 14 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 steals.  This was the game the Celtics have been waiting for from Amir.  I am hoping the Celtics gained their confidence back from this big win and can keep it rolling as they will play the Phoenix Suns at the Garden on Friday, and then play at the nation's capital Saturday versus the Washington Wizards.
