And the tank rolls on
The game may have been too close for Boston's comfort, but the Celtics were able to put away New Orleans 104-97 Wednesday night at the TD Ameritrade Garden.
Everyone walked out of the Boston Garden a winner: the Celtics didn't suffer the shame of losing to the injury-ridden Pelicans, and they kept their half-game lead over Miami for the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference. The Pelicans, meanwhile, continue to do the best we could hope for with the players available: show a little heart but not at the expense of their lottery odds.
