In a typical NBA Game of peaks and valleys the C's end at the peak as they overcome blowing an eighteen point lead to beat the now .500 playing Brooklyn Nets 91-84. In a game the C's led at the break 53-41 and the Nets had that lead down to 70-68 with just over two minutes to go...give the Green Team credit as they stayed the course which has a lot to do with "Double R" Rajon Rondo the Pride of the East Side of Louisville, Kentucky running the point.

Rondo Facing off against Brooklyn's Deron Williams led the C's with 20 points as he also added nine assists to go with seven boards and seven turnovers. Jerry Bayless who was in the starting line up with Rondo added 14 points and six boards with Jeff Green of Hoya Paranoia for 15 points. The C's also get huge production from Bigs in Jared Sullinger (5 pts 12 rebs) and Gonzaga Zags Rook Kelly Olynyk (13 pts 7 rebs) as they both played "Big" in the paint.

Brooklyn now back to that .500 mark gets 20 points from D-Will and Nets 2013-14 All-Star Joe Johnson added 21 points and seven boards. The "Truth" Paul Pierce making his 2nd trip back to Bean Town struggled with 10 points on 4 of 11 from the field and 0-4 from the Arc. Nets shot a dismal 4 of 30 from Deep and that put took them right out of chance to put one in the win column.

The C's headed to the 2014 NBA Draft Lottery moves to 21-41and noting wrong with that as they try and get themselves a young up and comer. The Nets at 30-30 in the #6 slot in the East just 2.5 games ahead of the Charlotte Bobcats.
