Celtics roll over 鈥榃olves as Spurs fall
AL Horford delivered 20 points and 9 rebounds as the Boston Celtics continued their domination over the Minnesota Timberwolves with a 117-104 win on Wednesday.
Boston won its 10th game in the last 11 thanks to a 21-6 run bridging the halves, a complete game by Horford and a stellar Isaiah Thomas performance.
Horford just missed his second career triple double as he also had 8 assists.
“We needed (Horford) to be locked in tonight because (Karl-Anthony) Towns is a real talented guy. So Al had that assignment on the other end for a lot of the game,” Celtics coach Brad Stevens said.
It marked the 11th consecutive win for the Celtics over Minnesota at the Boston Garden arena.
Thomas scored 27 points, Avery Bradley had 18, and Kelly Olynyk and Marcus Smart both scored 10 off the Boston bench.
Ricky Rubio led the Timberwolves with 23 points and seven assists. Andrew Wiggins and Shabazz Muhammad each scored 21 points and Towns finished with 17 points and 14 rebounds.
Elsewhere, Damian Lillard scored 36 points, including four free throws in the final five seconds, as the Portland Trail Blazers stunned the Spurs 110-106 in San Antonio, Texas.
CJ McCollum added 26 points for the Trail Blazers. Jusuf Nurkic had 16 points and 9 rebounds, Noah Vonieh scored 12 points and Allen Crabbe added 10.
Kawhi Leonard finished with 34 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists for San Antonio. LaMarcus Aldridge, who missed the previous two games because of a heart arrhythmia, added 19 points.
In other NBA games on Wednesday, it was: Mavericks 112, Wizards 107; Pacers 98, Hornets 77; Heat 120, Pelicans 112; Jazz 97, Pistons 83; Rockets 139, Lakers 100; Grizzlies 98, Bulls 91; Kings 107, Suns 101; and Bucks 97, Clippers 96.
