Boston Celtics

You would need a book to chronicle all that Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett accomplished together in their six seasons as teammates for the Boston Celtics. The duo won a championship in 2008, the first year of their partnership, before returning to the Finals two years later. Their strong connection was always evident though, as the New York Knicks and Madison Square Garden discovered in Year 4. While Garnett was patrolling the paint to finish backboard-swaying slams, Pierce was busy playing the role of hero, silencing the Big Apple crowd with a smooth, game-winning fadeaway. Pierce and Garnett combined for 52 points, 23 rebounds, seven assists and five steals in this 118-116 triumph on December 15, 2010, pushing Boston’s record to 20-4 in a season where the Celtics would later sweep the Knicks in the First Round of the postseason. · Dec 15, 2010
