Celtics record 10th straight win
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 01 - 02 - 2009

The Boston Celtics brought up their second 10-game winning streak of this NBA season with a 86-78 win over the Detroit Pistons on Friday.
The previous time the Celtics won 10 in a row twice in a season was 1985-86, when they went on to win one of their 17 NBA titles.
Kevin Garnett scored 22 points to top the Boston scorers, while Paul Pierce had 20 and Ray Allen added 14. The defending champions are an NBA-best 39-9 thanks to the current run and a franchise-record 19-game winning streak early in the season.
Detroit's Allen Iverson scored 19 points, moving past Hall of Famer Charles Barkley and into 16th place on the NBA's career scoring list.
Lakers 132, Timberwolves 119: In Minneapolis, Los Angeles began a six-game road trip with their highest score of the season, defeating Minnesota.
Los Angeles' Andrew Bynum bulled his way inside to 27 points and 15 rebounds, a perfect complement to Kobe Bryant, who scored 30 points as the Lakers recorded a sixth consecutive win over the Timberwolves.
The Wolves rallied from a 20-point hole with an 18-7 run in the fourth quarter but couldn't get any closer. It was the most points they've allowed in regulation time this season.
Nuggets 110, Bobcats 99: In Denver, Carmelo Anthony scored 19 points in his first game back from a broken right hand as Denver downed Charlotte.
After missing 10 games, Anthony wasn't bothered by a broken bone in his shooting hand, finishing 5-of-12 from the floor and 9-of-11 from the free throw line. He played with his two middle fingers wrapped in tape.
In other matches it was: Hawks 105, Nets 88; Cavaliers 112, Clippers 95; Pacers 114, Heat 103; Warriors 91, Hornets 87; Bucks 96, Raptors 85; Jazz 110, Thunder 90; 76ers 104, Wizards 94; Bulls 109, Kings 88.
