Sports | NBA KG Carries Celts Past Rockets Big Ticket takes over in the fourth after Bonzi, Yao nullify 20-point deficit By Jesse Andrews Posted Jan 3, 2008 3:17 AM CST Copied Boston Celtics forward Paul Pierce, left, drives to the basket past Houston Rockets guard Bonzi Wells, during the first half of their basketball game in Boston, Wednesday Jan. 2, 2008. (AP Photo/Charles Krupa) (Associated Press) After Houston had converted a 20-point hole into a three-point advantage, and with Boston's two centers fouled out of the game, Kevin Garnett willed his team back out of the red. The rangy power forward had 11 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter, where he also helped to smother a previously indefensible Yao Ming. After his 19-footer put the game out of reach (final score: 97-93), teammate Paul Pierce leapt onto his back in a fit of unbridled symbolism. Houston's other marquee player, Tracy McGrady, was out of the game with a sprained knee, but mercurial backup Bonzi Wells did his best T-Mac impression, springing for 25 and 9 boards.
