Jesus Saves...

Celtics take out a tough Grizz team tonight, 110-105 in Memphis. Celtics put a bit of space between them and the Grizzlies in the 4th, but behind Rudy Gay, Zach Randolph and OJ Mayo, the Grizz kept it tight. With about 17 seconds left, and the shot-clock winding down, Ray Allen buried a deep 3-pointer for the final dagger. Ray was one of 6 Celtics in double-figures with 18 points on 5 of 6 shooting from behind the arc. I almost woke up the whole neighborhood when he buried the shot, an all-netter from about 2 feet behind the 3-point line. Rebounding was a concern going into the game, as the Grizzlies are tough on the glass, but the Celts managed to pull even with them at 36 boards apiece. The C's now have 3 days off before facing A.I. and the Sixers on Friday night at the Garden. I will be at the game and should have some pics/video posted here postgame. Tip-off is at 7:30pm.
