On the final possession of Wednesday’s night Celtics-Spurs tilt, Manu Ginobili controlled the ball at the top of the key. He was promptly double-teamed and Marquis Daniels bit on Ginobili’s first pump fake. However, Paul Pierce was there to block his deep two-point try and seal the 105-103 victory.
Celtics Vs. Spurs Final Score: Boston 105, San Antonio 103 Thanks To Pierce’s Block At The Buzzer
Rajon Rondo looked fully healthy in posting a robust line of 12 points, 22 assists, 10 rebounds and six steals, and the Boston Celtics survived a late Spurs comeback to hand San Antonio a second straight defeat, 105-103, at TD Garden.
Ray Allen was an efficient 13-of-16 shooting for 31 points, but his two missed foul shots with 8.1 seconds remaining gave the Spurs an unlikely chance at the win after they trailed by nine with less than a minute to play.
Ginobili ended with 24 points and eight rebounds, while Tim Duncan and Tony Parker each netted 18 points for the Spurs, who lost a 13-point decision at New York on Tuesday and have fallen in back-to-back games for the first time all season.
The Celtics improved to 27-7 and have won three straight.
