Bobcats routed the Celtics

With Paul Pierce resting, Bobcats got a new found confidence and routed the Celtics 100 - 74. Bobcats dominated the boards with 48 rebounds against Boston's  29.

Gerald Henderson had a career-high 35 points, and the Charlotte Bobcats snapped a 10-game losing streak. Ben Gordon scored 17 points and new starting forward Josh McRoberts had his first double-double for Charlotte with 13 points and 10 rebounds.

For the Boston Celtics Jeff Green and Jordan Crawford scored 14 apiece while Bradley and Bass had 10 apiece.


Kevin Garnett needed nine points to pass Jerry West and move into 15th place on the NBA's career scoring list, but was held to five points on 2-of-10 shooting.

The Celtics looked out of sync early on without Pierce, who received a night of rest from coach Doc Rivers. It looked as if most of the other Celtics had taken the night off, too.
