The Boston Celtics wrapped up their trip to Europe with a 1-1 split win loss with a win last night over Emporio Armani, 105-75. Rondo and Jeff Green, who looked to be in great health, shared game high merits with 17 points each, Rondo with 6 assists while Brandon Bass added fuel from the bench with 11 points and 8 rebounds in 24 minutes of play.
Ioannis Bourousis of Emporio had the only double double of the game with 15 points and 14 rebounds in 23 minutes of play. Malik Hairston (pictured) had quiet night with only 11 points and 3 rebounds. Pierce (pictured) who saw only 16 minutes of play capped off the night also with 11 points, shooting 4-6 from the field and 1-2 from three point land.He also added 5 free throws.
This game was a return to form from the C's, given their 6 point loss in Turkey a few nights ago. These games held merit for those who were worried about the condition of Jeff Green who seemed vitalised and poised to strike. Many have considered Green as a focal point for the C's and a key player for the C's given the aging condition of their starters. Only time will tell how well Green can maintain this high level of play but many fans, myself included, hope to see him produce at the level he was when Oklahoma had him not that many years ago.
