Basketball Betting Lines
03/20/2010 -
Dallas, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Paul Pierce scored 29 points and the Celtics
shot over 70 percent in the final quarter, on the way to a 102-93 win over the
Dallas Mavericks.
Rajon Rondo netted half of his 20 points in the last quarter and ended with 10
rebounds and five assists, as Boston won its fourth in a row and moved a half-
game ahead of Atlanta for the No. 3 spot in the Eastern Conference. Ray Allen
had 21 points in the win.
Dirk Nowitzki tallied 28 points for the Mavericks, who are seeded third in the
West. Jason Terry totaled 18 points and Shawn Marion 16 for Dallas, which led
by as many as seven in the fourth quarter, but faltered down the stretch.
J.J. Barea made a three-pointer for an 82-75 Dallas lead, but the Celtics
thrived in the final period thanks to a 12-of-17 performance from the field.
That included a 5-of-5 effort from Rondo.
Kevin Garnett's jumper tied the game at 86 with 5:20 remaining and the Celtics
moved ahead thanks to a Pierce layup before Terry tied it again with a jumper.
Rondo then came up with a steal and a layup. He added another bucket from in
close for a 92-88 cushion and the Celtics were ahead the rest of the way.
Caron Butler's two free throws pulled Dallas within 94-93, but Pierce sank a
big three-pointer from the top of the arc. Pierce then stole the ball from
Nowitzki and passed ahead to Rondo for the game-sealing layup with 1:18 left,
extending the difference to six points.
Pierce had a third of Boston's 30 points in the opening quarter and the
visitors claimed a six-point edge after 12 minutes. A three-pointer from
Eduardo Najera with 64 seconds left in the half close Dallas' deficit to 48-47
at the break.
The Mavs trailed by as many as nine in the third, but rallied and tied the
game at 67 on Jason Kidd's layup with 2:28 left. Boston led 73-72 going to the
fourth.
