Celtics Overcome a 26 point defcit and get the Win over James Hardens Houston Rockets

The young, but talented Boston Celtics pulled off a crazy Win two nights ago in Boston with the game ending in controversy. The C’s went head to head with the MVP front runner in James Harden, and the talented Houston Rockets of the West. The C’s started off slow in the contest while James Harden took off quick. With no Chris Paul in the lineup, Harden took advantage of extra shots to go around.

Harden had a strong first half but slow 4th quarter, due to Marcus Smart putting him on an offensive pause. Harden went 0-7 due to him being Smarts new assignment on the defensive end in the 2nd half. That switch helped the C’s swing back, cancelling out a 26 point deficit. Kyrie led the way in points scoring 26 with young hitta Jayson Tatum adding 19 points. But the keys to victory credits Al Horford and Marcus Smart’s will to win. Jayson Tatums layup to cut into a 3 point lead resulted in Smart drawing an offensive foul on Harden during the Rockets attempt to inbound the ball with 7.3 seconds to go. The Celtics went to Horford because of the match up advantage he had over Tarik Black. Horford muscled in a hook shot in with 3.7 seconds left to give the Celtics the lead, after trailing by +20 for majority of the game.

To put the sweet icing on top, Smart drew another offensive foul on James Harden during Houston’s next inbound, resulting in a Celtics come back for the ages victory. Irving and Smart lead the C’s in scoring and effort while Harden, and Gordon combined for 57 points but fell short.

Harden wasn’t too happy with the officiating stating after the game that ''You can't have two officials in a professional game,'' Harden said. ''There was a lot of no-calls that needed to be called because it changed the dynamic of the game. You got fast-break points, no calls, turnovers or whatever the case may be. This is a professional game on national TV. It can't happen.'' To me it sounds like the Celtics played with two refs as well so I can’t really give him pity on this one. The Celtics host Brooklyn Sunday on what should be a flawless victory.
