And the Streak Goes On...

"Well I can't wait until Perk comes back in February." That was me this morning. Less than an hour before the game, my mind had been changed. Reports came in through people like Chris Forsberg and then both ESPN and the official Celtics twitter account reported it. Oh it was a joyous occasion.

Cleveland's 17 game winning streak came into the Garden with most people thinking easy win with a few skeptics asking if this was going to be another one of "those" games. 4 of the 10 losses for Boston comes from teams with records under .500. Well, this one won't be a loss. Oh no it won't. A 17 point blowout was inevitable from the minute Perk came out to the floor. Perk had 7 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists in his return. Not bad for someone who has been out for months. Pierce knocked down 24 points in 23 minutes. Great defense in 112-95 rout of Cavs.

Numbers of interest:
Rondo moves into the number 10 spot for assists in Celtics history. Passed Nate Archibald.

Ray Allen splashed 3 three pointers to jump closer to passing Reggie Miller's record for 3 pointers made.
