The Boston Celtics captured their third consecutive victory with a 109-101 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. The Celtics were led by a strong performance from their point guard, Avery Bradley.
Bradley scored a season-high 22 points, while grabbing seven rebounds and dishing out five assists. The Boston guard was shot extremely well against the Sixers defense, going 10-15 from the field.
Bradley has seen an increased role as the team's starting point guard since Rajon Rondo was lost due to a torn ligament injury in his right knee. Since then, Boston has gone 12-4 with Bradley at the helm, capturing their 32nd win of the season on Tuesday.
Boston's veterans also had impressive performances on Tuesday. Celtics captain Paul Pierce recorded a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds. Kevin Garnett also scored 18, while grabbing six rebounds of his own.
Philadelphia continues their recent lack of success with their second consecutive loss. The Sixers have also lost nine of their last 10 games and fall to 23-36 for the season.
