The Boston Celtics are back in the win column after defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves 113-99 at the TD Garden on Monday night.
Amir Johnson and Jared Sullinger were both absent from the Celtics' starting line up due to plantar fasciitis and back spasms (respectively), but the most disappointing scratch was Kevin Garnett, who was resting on the second night of a back-to-back for the Timberwolves. Nevertheless, the Garden crowd was relentless in calling for him.
Boston had 6 players scoring in double figures, led by Kelly Olynyk with 19, followed by Jae Crowder (18), Tyler Zeller (14), Avery Bradley (13), David Lee (13), and Jonas Jerebko (12).
