 Re: At Boston Dec 19th, 7:30 PM
Who would have thought letting Rondo score early was part of the Pistons game play? Quote:
Rondo had scored 14 in the first half, including 10 straight in the first quarter to get the Celtics off and running. But Billups' size and strength began to wear on him. Rondo got into foul trouble and didn't score in the second half.
"He's young, but he's really good," Billups said. "A lot of times it's a mental game. He did what we wanted him to do early. We wanted to make him a scorer. Make him finish. Make him hit jumpers. He did that early, but it kept the ball out of the hands of those other guys." | BOSTON POPPED: Late foul, Billups' free throws lift Pistons past Celtics in marquee matchup  |
