NETS 85 CELTICS 79...the "TRUTH" and the "Big TICKET" return to where they got a CHIP as the BK NETS also took care of Biz...LOGO WATCH with a Blog Post Tribute to the "TRUTH" & "KG" #CELTSnation #NETSnation

The Brooklyn Nets knew this would be a tough one to get as the C's knew both Kevin Garnett and longtime SF Paul Pierce were coming in as Celts Nation couldn't wait to see them both. That 2008 Chip seems to be so long ago yet like it just happened. They were a Kendrick Perkins Torn ACL away from a possible Chip #2 in 2010 and that was the last of the Runs that Core Group of Jesus Shuttlesworth, KG, the Truth, and Lead Man Doc Rivers would be an "Effective Team".

As for the game the Brooklyn Nets have been blazing since the Big Apple dropped in Times Square and they eke out a hard-fought 85-79 "W" over the C's tonight with the Nets Bench playing huge. Behind 17 points from Andray Blacthe and eleven points from AK-47 Andrei Kirilenko the Nets outscore the C's Bench 45-27 and that was a big key to victory for the Nets. Nets Shooting Guard Alan Anderson was the lone Nets Starter in double figures with 11 points.

The C's had their chances late but the Nets "D" which has been key to their current run got the all important "Stops" they needed to secure victory. Brandon Bass' 17 points and eight boards led the C's with Rajon Rondo ( with more than a little fire under him seeing KG and Paul) nearly went Triple-Double with 13 points, eight boards, and eight helpers. Fittingly enough it was KG's steal of Rondo that iced the game late.

The Nets move to 19-22 as the Celts fall to 15-30...
