Improved Celtics Slip Past Sixers

As Rajon Rondo has gotten more comfortable on the floor with each game that passes since his return from a knee injury the Celtics have become a more competitive team. He and a 17-point third quarter from Jeff Green were all the difference in a 114-108 win over the Sixers Wednesday night in Philadelphia. Rondo scored eight points to go along with 11 assists and nine rebounds while Green finished with 36 points for the Celtics (17-33). Thaddeus Young led the 76ers (15-35) with 20 points,  Spencer Hawes added 13 points and 13 rebounds, and Lavoy Allen had 10 points and 10 rebounds. The loss is the fourth straight for the Sixers, who last beat these very Celtics on Jan. 29. For more on this game, click here.
